⚡️🇻🇦 — Pope Leo XIV’s health is showing “steady improvement” following surgery to remove a cancerous lung nodule, the Vatican said on Friday, October 16.

➡️ Medical examinations conducted three days after the operation confirmed continued progress in the 71-year-old pontiff’s overall condition. Respiratory physiotherapy is ongoing, and his post-operative recovery has allowed him to carry out normal daily activities independently, according to his doctors.

➡️The Vatican also released the first photographs of Leo XIV celebrating Mass at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, where he underwent surgery. The images show the pope standing in green liturgical vestments alongside his personal secretary, Peruvian priest Edgard Rimaycuna.
