So many of might we aware that Selena was diagnosed with Lupus in 2015. She kept the information regarding her disease under curtains, and even her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber didn't know about it.

While she was getting her treatment, she took a long break from her career as due to the problem, she was also suffering from anxiety, panic attack, and depression. 

For those of you that don't know, Lupus is a disease in which the body attacks itself unknowingly. The disease mostly took its toll in her kidney.

 

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.
