Pope Leo XIV is eating normally, has already begun walking and doing breathing exercises, and postoperative exams are within normal range after surgery to remove a cancerous mass from his lung, the Vatican said on Wednesday.
The pope’s doctors, Luigi Carbone and Stefano Margaritora, released an update on his condition. According to them, blood tests and a chest X-ray confirmed a progression compatible with a normal postoperative recovery, with results within the expected parameters.
“The Holy Father underwent respiratory physiotherapy and began to walk in his room. He resumed his usual diet and took breakfast and lunch,” they said. “Recovery is progressing as planned.”
