Pope Leo Resting in Hospital After Lung Cancer Surgery
Pope Leo XIV, who had part of his right lung removed following a cancer diagnosis, is receiving treatment at Rome's Gemelli Hospital and his health condition is being closely monitored.
Following a cancer diagnosis, Pope Leo XIV underwent a successful surgery to remove a nodule in his right lung and is continuing his recovery at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he is able to walk in his hospital room.
Surgery and Hospital Process
The 71-year-old Pope Leo XIV successfully underwent the planned operation to have part of his right lung removed and is progressing through the post-operative period normally at Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
Medical personnel stated that the Pope has started walking in his hospital room and eating, and that his general condition following the surgery is good.
Warnings Regarding the Recovery Process
While the Vatican reported that the recovery process is proceeding normally, the President of Peru warned that the Pope's full recovery might take longer than expected.
This situation has brought up the question of whether the Pope's planned one-week apostolic visit to Peru, scheduled to begin on November 11, will take place.
