Cher helped save Doriana Sanchez’s life

When Doriana Sanchez, a close friend of Cher’s, had a “terrible seizure” at her home the singer was quick to find a way to help.

Cher and Doriana have been close friends for 26 years and when Sanchez began experiencing pains in her back, Cher put her on a private plane and sent her to Los Angeles to see a spine specialist. Doriana said;

“As the months went by, it got worse. Cher told me she wanted me to see her spine specialist."

While staying at Cher’s Los Angeles home, Doriana suffered a seizure and that’s when UCLA neurosurgeon Dr. Neil Martin found a large tumor on her brain.  Doriana went through surgery to have the tumor removed and Cher stayed by her friend’s side the entire time. Sanchez feels that without the singer’s help she “wouldn’t be here.”  She said;

“Before surgery, we did our secret prayer that we do before Cher's shows. And she added sparkles to the hospital room, bedazzling it to give it the Cher touch!  Cher was by my side the whole time. I wouldn't be here without her."
