Pope Leo XIV thanks wellwishers in first event after cancer surgery

Pope Leo XIV held his first public engagement since his lung cancer surgery on Sunday, as he recited the Angelus prayer from the window of Vatican's Apostolic Palace.

The surgery had taken place just a few days before, after Pope Leo had been diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer.

After the prayer, he thanked the people who have prayed for him in recent days and said he appreciated the support. He added he will now gradually return to his commitments as he recovers.
