Chronic pulmonary disease discovered at Princess Mette-Marit Entertainment

Mette-Marit The wife of Crown Prince Haakon aged 45, found that his health was deteriorating. "Now we also know how it goes," said the Crown Princess in a statement. She and Haakon chose to announce the news of her illness because her condition was to be taken into account in the future and she may not be able to participate.

Arts Kristian Bjøro van the Rikshospitalet says that the state of Mette-Marits has been actively followed in recent years. According to him, the disease is developing slowly. "The Crown Princess will have to undergo further examinations and treatments in the future," says Bjøro. The doctor says that it is beneficial that the lung disease has been discovered at an early stage.

In the case of pulmonary fibrosis, oxygen is not absorbed properly, so that patients may be breathless or breathless. It can also reduce the average life expectancy, which Mette-Marit also does. She is happy that the disease was discovered in time. "My goal is always to work as much as possible and to participate as much as possible in official opportunities."
