SELENA’S LIFE SAVING BFF

Selena Gomez has undergone a life-saving kidney transplant after her best friend Francia Rasia donated her a kidney this summer.

Selena, 25, has been suffering with Lupus since 2015, a disease that attacks the immune system and following kidney failure in May this year, doctors urged her to have the life-saving operation and the search was on for a matching doner.

Now Selena owes more to her BFF than she can ever repay – her life – as the organ transplant waiting list meant that a suitable kidney may not have been found until too late for the Disney star. Both women have now made a full recovery following the operation and Selena’s new kidney is said to be fully functional.

“She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice,” Selena wrote on her Instagram. “I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much Francia.”
