Pope Leo says in 'fairly good shape' after lung cancer surgery
Le Monde, with AP and AFP, reports that Pope Leo XIV, 71, who had a cancerous tumor and part of his right lung removed at Rome's Gemelli hospital on October 13, arrived in Uruguay on November 6 for the first papal visit there since 1988, beginning a three-day itinerary before trips to Argentina and Peru. He told reporters he was in "fairly good shape" and urged early cancer detection, and Vatican doctors say he is fit to travel.
