The star was diagnosed with the disease last August, and revealed details with fans in October 2018.
On Thursday, Selma shared a photograph of herself from inside a clinic, where she’s seen leaning on a bike which aids her walking.
“Today is a banner day. I am being discharged from the care of an incredible team of nurses and techs and a visionary Dr. who believes in my healing as much as I do,” she shared in the post.
She went on to tell fans about the treatment she’s received, which, while she didn’t details exactly what she has had done, it has compromised her immune system.
“This has been a process. And will continue to be one. I am immunocompromised for next three months at least. So no kisses please.
“I wanted to make sure any complications that might arise here were my private space. And we got through brilliantly,” Selma said.
She went on to thank her fans and family for the support she’s received since her diagnosis.
“I thank you all for your love and support and that extra dose of great with a @people cover.
“I see things so much more clearly now. And I am excited to share this journey when I am ready.
“For now, I have recovery. And a great @the_alinker_world so I gotta split. Bye!!!!!! This is the best gift I could give to Arthur. #newimmunesystem#whodis? 🎂”
In an interview with PEOPLE this week, Selma said that after her diagnosis her symptoms came on quickly.
She has palsy in her face, which impacts her control of her facial muscles, and a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, which makes her voice tremble.
“It’s constant weakness and fatigue,” she told the publication.
She credits her resilience and confidence to her son Arthur, who she shares with stylist Jason Bleick, her partner from 2010 to 2012.
