ROME (AFP)
Pope Leo XIV spent a calm night and was to begin post-surgery recovery Wednesday, a day after having a cancerous tumour removed from his lung.
Part of the pope's right lung was removed in the operation, and is awaiting the results of tests to determine if the cancer has spread.
"The pope passed a calm night," the Vatican said, without providing any more details.
The pope had made the surprise announcement that he would be undergoing surgery after Sunday prayers.
He underwent the 90-minute operation on Tuesday, after which the Vatican said he "woke up normally."
