Pope Leo XIV to Undergo Surgery After Lung Lump Discovery
BBC News reports that Pope Leo XIV will be undergoing surgery "in the coming days" following the discovery of a lung lump during a routine medical check-up.
“The doctors found an early, well-localised nodule on my lung,” the Pope stated during his weekly Sunday prayers in St Peter's Square, reassuring pilgrims that the mass was "well-contained" and caught "at an early stage."
Matteo Bruni, a spokesperson for the Holy See Press Office, confirmed that the operation is scheduled for the beginning of next week, with the Pope expected to recover in approximately a week.
