POPE LEO, THE NEWS WE HOPED FOR: NO FURTHER TREATMENT NEEDED!
Final tests after lung surgery confirm that the disease was localized. Medical communication arrives on the evening of October 21.
A report can change the weight of a day. For Pope Leo XIV, the news expected after the Gemini surgery has arrived: according to the oncology evaluation, no further therapies are necessary.
Luigi Carbone, the Pontiff's personal physician, and the surgeon Stefano Margaritora, communicated this. The definitive histologic tests and molecular biology investigations of the material removed during the operation of 13 October confirmed a localized pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Good News to Accept with Gratitude
It is a reassuring communication, to be read in the words of doctors, without adding predictions on the time of recovery.
For those who have accompanied these days with a prayer, there is now also room to say thank you. Continuing to respect convalescence and the need for rest.
Perhaps this wait reminds you of someone: a loved one, a call from the hospital, the moment when a response finally arrived. This is another reason why news can touch us closely, even though it concerns a distant person.
In prayer, even those still waiting
Today we can entrust to God Pope Leo, who cares for him and all those who are waiting for an examination or are facing therapy. Gratitude can become attention: a message, an agreed visit, a help asked with delicacy.
The prayer of CHIARA!
Sir, thank you for this reassuring news. He accompanies Pope Leo in recovery and supports those who take care of him. Stay close to those who are waiting for a diagnosis today. Help us to be there, with patience and concrete gestures. Amen.
