Pope Leo's doctors confirm his visit to Latin America two weeks after lung surgery Pope Leo XIV's doctors have confirmed that he can fly to Latin America two weeks after lung cancer surgery. The longest trip of the pontificate so far will take place on Nov. 6-17, with Uruguay, Argentina and Peru planned as stops. Dr. Luigi Carbone, the papal doctor, stated that there were no contraindications that would prevent him from undertaking his upcoming apostolic journey. The trip, where Pope Leo served as a missionary and where he was a bishop, is expected to offer opportunities to strengthen the bonds of communion with local Churches and offer a message of faith, hope, and peace. Despite speculation that parts of the schedule could be altered, Msgr. Guillermo Inca Pereda, coordinator of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Peru, confirmed that the news about Pope Leo's surgery did not disrupt preparations for the trip.
