A lung transplant may be the last straw for Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, reports the Norwegian media VG.
VG has interviewed the chief physician of the pulmonary department of Haukeland University Hospital Tomas Mikal Eagania. According to him, for a lung transplant, the patient’s life expectancy must be only one to two years at the point when a lung transplant is considered as a treatment.
– A lung transplant is the last resort, Eagan describes.
Eagan talks about lung transplantation in a general way.
– The disease must have progressed so far that life expectancy is short regardless of medical treatment, he describes.
Mette-Marit’s condition is therefore probably very serious. Norway’s Hovi announced in December that a lung transplant is planned for Mette-Marit.
Norwegian newspapers have reported in recent days that the condition of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has deteriorated significantly. He has pulmonary fibrosis.
Crown Prince Haakon commented to Norway’s TV2 channel that Princess Ingrid Alexandra is traveling to her home country of Norway from Australia. Ingrid Alexandra, 22, lives and studies in Australia. Haakon comments that the princess’s return is related to the family situation. He wants to be with his mother.
Last week it was announced that Haakon would shorten his state visit to Japan by one day. The reason was said to be Mette-Marit’s health.
