However, Candice also took to social media to share the inspiration behind her book, ‘Living With PCOS: Road To Reversal’.
She wrote on Instagram: “This book is more than just words on paper, it’s my truth, my struggles, and my triumphs, wrapped in one. I remember the days when PCOS had me feeling defeated, questioning if there was any hope for change.
“But in my darkest moments, I found a spark that led me onto this path of healing. I literally asked you guys what you would like to know about my findings while on this journey and you told me what you need so I put it all in one place for you. This is something I wish I had when 1st being diagnosed. (sic)”
Meanwhile, in 2017, Francia donated a kidney to Selena Gomez, after the singer was diagnosed with lupus.
Francia subsequently opened up about her recovery, revealing that she “couldn’t do anything active” for a period of time.
During a talk show appearance in 2018, Francia added: “All I could do was walk. That was very hard for me, and I have a dog. Every day the thing I look forward to is drinking my coffee, and walking, and I couldn’t do that. It was really, really hard.”
