The famous journalist Per Egil Hegge (80), who already suffered from bone marrow cancer, received the detection of Covid-19 in March.
This is what Hegge, journalist and cultural editor of Aftenposten, writes, even on Facebook. Here he declares that he has been in good health until in December 2017 he was diagnosed with myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow) that he was treated with cellular poison and that this cellular poison has caused minimal discomfort.
Unadmitted
– The general condition was relatively good until I got the covid-19 in March 2020. It behaved like a mildly stubborn flu, but not particularly troublesome, with low fever, snoring, stomach pain and some pain probably due to cancer, Hegge writes, who pointed out until 2018 he had his permanent language column in Aftenposten.
He claims that he sleeps and eats normally, has no difficulty breathing and has not been hospitalized. Hegge’s wife is not infected.
– Very good shape
It was Dagbladet who first mentioned the case.
For VG, Hegge says the shape is as good as for most 80-year-olds.
– It is not relevant to run a marathon. I’m probably in very good shape for age, but there is a lot of muscle mass with cancer and crown, so walks are not relevant.
On his Facebook page, Hegge writes:
– What do you know about the danger of the combination of cancer and covid-19? At my age, I realize that I am not a perpetual entrepreneur and can bear disappointing news.
He tells VG that he asked his doctors what they know about the cancer and crown combination, but that they said they don’t know, as this is unknown territory and the virus is unpredictable.
