Pope Leo XIV will make his trip to Latin America two weeks after his operation, the Vatican confirms.

Pope Leon XIV will proceed with his apostolic trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6 to 17, as confirmed by the Vatican. His post-operative recovery is progressing well, and no medical contraindications prevent the trip. The Pope expressed joy about returning to the continent where he spent significant time as a missionary. Following surgery to remove a cancerous lung nodule, he has resumed activities gradually. Medical examinations indicate that his cancer is localized, and he does not require further treatment. The Vatican reassured that the Pope's health is favorable, allowing him to fulfill his responsibilities while prioritizing recovery.
