These were the words of Leo XIV after the Angelus prayer. The Pope announced that he will undergo lung surgery to remove a localized nodule.
“Recently, during some medical checkups, doctors found a localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well localized. The doctors believe that surgery is advisable, and following their recommendation, I have decided to undergo an operation to remove it. The procedure is already scheduled for the coming days.
I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.”
