physicist in a cancer clinic here. if surgery isn't possible, 3 radiation sessions control about 90% of early lung tumors at 3 years

Imagine if he passes away from that same cancer doctors say he doesnt need any further treatment for. I hope he gets right with God before its too late by repenting, & asking God for forgiveness for his sinful lifestyle

sorry to hear that. once a tumor is the size of detectable, it probably spreads especially in lungs and pacreates.

I prayed he wouldn’t survive, a priest got killed by a Crucifix but the @Pontifex not by a cancer surgery that is sad.

Of course there will be follow-up visits. Absolutely!

Pope Francis had part of one lung removed early in life. It never affected his ability to get the truth out. Pope Leo XIV seems to have the same qualities.

I trust God more than cancer surgeons. I guess Pope doesnt.
