Selena Gomez Reveals She Has Lupus

 

 

(CNN)Pop singer Selena Gomez has revealed in Billboard that her diagnosis with the autoimmune disease lupus was behind a recent hiatus from the spotlight.

 

"I was diagnosed with lupus, and I've been through chemotherapy. That's what my break was really about. I could've had a stroke," Gomez told the magazine in a cover story coming out Thursday.

 

About 1.5 million Americans have lupus, and it strikes mostly women between the ages of 15 and 44.

If she had the chemo treatment, she had to have been in bad shape Smiley Sad

 

Her age range is when it can really hit, one thing after another, and it's a lot for someone that young to take in.

 

I feel so sorry for her dealing with lupus.

Wishing her well; what a beautiful girl.  Heart

Oh dear, she is so young, and Lupus is such a destructive disease attacking many parts of the body.

Well that's sad to hear, hopefully she'll be okay.  Just when you think someone has it all - it goes to show we're all human and nobody's life is perfect.
