Selena Gomez is set to release a documentary about her health issues

Last month pop superstar Selena Gomez revealed to fans she'd undergone a kidney transplant after suffering with autoimmune disease Lupus, and now the singer is set to release a documentary to tell fans her story.

The 'Bad Liar' singer will document her health issues in the documentary, with a source telling In Touch,** **“She’s making a documentary about her health issues. Selena will talk about her journey, give viewers insight into lupus and clear up any misunderstandings."

The insider continued to add that Selena hopes the documentary will inspire others. They added, "Since having the transplant, Selena’s a changed woman and appreciates how lucky she is. The whole experience has been life-changing."

Last month Selena shared a heartwarming post to her Instagram account and revealed her friend Francia Raisa donated a kidney to her.

Sharing a photo of herself and actress Francia holding hands in their hospital beds, Selena wrote, '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.'

She then went on to tell fans she will be sharing the journey with them when she added, '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.'

Selena then publicy thanked everybody who's helped her out including her friend Francia, she wrote, '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.'

Just days later Bring It On: All or Nothing actress Francia shared the same photo to her own Instagram account and wrote a lovely message to her friend Selena.

Francia wrote, 'I am beyond grateful that God would trust me with something that not only saved a life, but changed mine in the process. This was part of our story, and we will share it soon, but what is important now is that this is not the only story. For more information regarding Lupus, please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org -- Love you sis, so glad we’re on this journey together. ❤️ x'

Now fully recovered from her operation, Francia shared a video of herself working out in the gym with the caption, 'Happy to be back'.

Meanwhile Selena's last single release was back in June with her track 'Bad Liar'. The song became a massive hit with her fans and the video currently has 172 million views on YouTube.
