Pope Leo has kept to his busy schedule a day after announcing that he will undergo lung surgery this week, a decision that followed a routine health check where a small lung nodule was found.
The announcement of the planned procedure was made public a day before the pope continued with his usual round of engagements, according to Al Jazeera. He is set to have the operation this week.
The surgery follows a routine health check that detected a small lung nodule, the report said. Beyond that, the pope’s activities have carried on as normal, with his schedule remaining full in the immediate aftermath of the disclosure.
Pope Leo’s decision to keep working while awaiting the procedure was reflected in his agenda, which stayed busy on the day after the news emerged.
For now, the pope appears to be maintaining his regular workload ahead of the surgery, which was announced after a routine health check identified a small lung nodule.
