Los fans de Selena Gomez aún no han salido de su asombro después de que la cantante, retirada de forma temporal de su profesión por motivos de salud, haya informado en Instagram que este verano pasó por una operación de trasplante de riñón donado por su mejor amiga.

La joven se vio obligada a someterse a la intervención por los problemas de salud que el lupus le está ocasionando. En una publicación que ha corrido como la pólvora por la red social, Gomez explica cómo vivió aquella experiencia, que ha sido la causa principal de mantenerla alejada de los escenarios.

«Me estoy recuperando y tuve que hacerlo por mi salud general», escribe Selena, quien no escatima palabras de agradecimiento con su amiga, la persona que le ha regalado salud y un órgano vital.

I?m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn?t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren?t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.
