Pope Leo XIV is eating, has begun walking and is doing respiratory exercises as he recovers from surgery to remove a cancerous nodule on his lung, the Vatican has said. In a statement from the Holy See Press Office released on Wednesday, Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said: "This morning, the Holy Father underwent the blood tests and chest X-ray scheduled after surgery.
The results confirm that his postoperative recovery is progressing normally: the values are within the expected range for the type of operation performed. "The Holy Father has undergone respiratory physiotherapy and has begun walking around his room. He has resumed eating normally and had breakfast and lunch.
His recovery is proceeding as expected." This is a breaking story and will be updated.
