Pope Leo XIV recovering well following lung cancer surgery
Pope Leo XIV is showing positive signs of recovery following a surgical procedure to remove a portion of his lung. Medical professionals at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome confirmed that the pontiff has begun walking and has returned to a regular diet after the successful operation. Post-operative analysis identified the removed tissue as lung adenocarcinoma. While the diagnosis is serious, the medical team remains optimistic, noting that the procedure was performed to ensure the complete removal of the affected area. The Pope is expected to stay in the hospital for approximately one week for continued monitoring and respiratory therapy.
