00:00With music and prayer, well-wishers gather outside Rome's Gemini Hospital
00:06as Pope Leo XIV recovers from surgery to remove a cancerous lung tumour.
00:12Doctors say the pontiff is walking, eating and making normal progress after the procedure.
00:23Things are going well for the Pope. They caught it in time and it will be resolved soon.
00:27I'm not worried. I came here to show my support, my spiritual closeness because I used to come here for
00:33Pope Francis as well.
00:39Catholics are now awaiting the results of a biopsy to determine if the cancer has spread.
00:48The issue is that the tumour was manigrant, but they caught it in time and removed it completely, so there
00:55is no danger.
00:55Even though it is an aggressive type of cancer, treatments are available nowadays, so I don't believe Pope Leo is
01:02in danger.
01:03More or less, it was expected because this type of tumour at that age is always manigrant.
01:08I had imagined that that might be the case.
01:15This sporty 71-year-old US-born pontiff announced the surgery after Sunday plays.
