I guess this just goes to show you that you never know what is going on in people's lives, no matter how public those lives are

Even though they are saying they caught it early, the underlying issues are probably somewhat the cause of her missing days/engagements and various health retreats. Even with top-notch medical care and money, it can take doctors years to figure out a diagnosis with symptoms as non-specific as what this condition causes. I saw that with a good friend's mom.
But having a diagnosis does help bring a sense of closure and stop the "am I crazy?" feedback that happens when you know something is wrong but doctors either say there isn't or they can't figure it out.
Sending prayers to the whole NRF and especially MM, Haakon and the kids.
