İlk bildiklerimiz

• What does Pope Leo XIV’s decision to have a lung nodule removed tell us about his health—and how soon he might return to his usual responsibilities? It establishes a plan for surgery, not a diagnosis or a recovery deadline. The 71-year-old Pope has accepted his doctors’ recommendation to intervene, with the operation planned at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital in the first days of the week beginning October 12. No exact appointment has been announced in the available reporting.
