Pope Leo XIV returns to Vatican days after surgery

Pope Leo is back at the Vatican after initial indications that he would spend a week in the hospital following surgery for lung cancer, but he was discharged today, well ahead of schedule. Fox 5's Francis Wang joins us live from the newsroom right now with more on the Pope's recovery and how the pontiff is already thinking about getting back to work. Hey, Francis. Yeah, Arthur, it really only took four days for the Pope to be released from the hospital following his lung cancer surgery. His surgeon telling Vatican News the Holy Father put his heart and soul into the recovery and that he is recovering so well he could actually be ready for international travel in just a few weeks. A brief but reassuring update from Pope Leo waving to reporters and well-wishers from his SUV and here leaving Rome's Gemelli Hospital earlier today. This is well ahead of the week-long stay doctors had anticipated. On Tuesday, the Pope underwent surgery to remove part of his right lung after doctors discovered an early stage cancerous tumor. But he has not let his recovery from keeping him from his duties, already speaking with world leaders and even celebrating mass in a makeshift hospital chapel earlier this week. Now his surgeon expects a full recovery in about 10 days and says there's no clinical reason to cancel the Pope's upcoming trip to Latin America. That trip, scheduled for November includes stops in Uruguay, Peru, and Argentina, and includes a demanding travel schedule with about a dozen flights and two helicopter rides. The Pope also not wasting any time getting back to work right away. The Vatican confirms he is expected to resume his official duties as early as tomorrow. And Arthur, that includes delivering the traditional blessing in St. Peter's Square. Arthur? Great news. Thank you very much, Francis.
