There is no such talk yet, as her illness is slow progressing thankfully..

Unfortunately it will only prolong her life, and not cure her from her illness wich she has chronically (=for the rest of her life) in her body..

Thank you all for your responses.

A lung transplant has its own sets of challenges -but once recovered it will in essence cure her of the disease and the illness and she can go on to lead a normal life. Perhaps the discussion has taken place behind the scenes and we just don't know it. Perhaps she is on a lung transplant list already!
 
Could a lung transplant really cure her? I had no idea. There would of course be other problems but who wouldn't wish for her to live longer.
 
Princess Mette-Marit was diagnosed several years ago with pulmonary fibrosis. The recommendation for transplant is early after diagnosis. There is a lot we don't know about her disease including what the cause might be. Often time it is unknown or what is called IPF or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

My own experience as a CCRN working with hearts, as well as harvesting organs, gives me only a general idea re: Mette-Marit's situation.

We don't know if transplant has ever been offered. Lung transplant survival rates are lower than other solid organ transplants (liver, heart, or kidneys) due to the fragility of the lungs.

I am very sympathetic and wish only the very best for Princess Mette-Marit.

Postponing MM activities for a week is not long. It seems like we may expect updates. I want to be an optimist and see our lovely Mette-Marit back soon.
 
Considering the diagnosis is given a 3-5 year prognosis, and she was diagnosed in 2018, sadly its not unexpected her symptoms have become worse. Hopefully this treatment goes well, and the stress with what is going on with her son will not hinder it, and she will be able to continue on.

Wishing the Crown Princess the very best!
 
Not surprising given how strong her medicines are

Nonethless extremly sad that she at the age of only 51 has to endure such a terrible illness
