Il Papa al Gemelli: «Sta bene, l’umore è buono»

Pope Leo is doing well and is in good spirits, according to Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office. The Pope is currently at the Policlinico Gemelli following surgery on October 13 to remove a lung nodule.

Bruni reported that medical staff performed a robotic bronchoscopy with biopsy, a contrast CT scan of the chest, and a PET scan before the operation. Doctors will determine when the final biopsy results will be available.

Regarding the upcoming apostolic journey to Latin America scheduled for November 6 to 17, Bruni noted that the Pope expressed his intention to make the trip during his Angelus address last Sunday.
