The world football legend needs special care due to kidney and heart failure. The former athlete was transferred to palliative care in early December.
The situation of Brazilian legendary football player Pele has worsened. This was announced on Wednesday (December 21st) by the press service of the Albert Einstein Clinic in Sao Paulo, where the former athlete was treated.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento (real name Pele), 82, who is battling cancer, was hospitalized on November 29.
According to doctors, the former athlete will spend the Christmas holidays at the clinic.
Now the Brazilian football star is under the increasing scrutiny of medical facility specialists. He needs extra care due to kidney and heart failure.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, who was hospitalized for the adjustment of chemotherapy for rectal cancer and treatment for respiratory infection, is experiencing a negative trend in cancer and therefore requires more intensive care due to kidney and heart dysfunction. .
Pele’s daughter, Kelly Nascimento, has confirmed that her father will be spending Christmas in the hospital while doctors try to improve his current health.
In September last year, Pele had his colon tumor removed.
Recall that in early December, the media reported that Pele was transferred to palliative care in a nursing home, as doctors stopped the chemotherapy process. This is because the body of an athlete with bowel cancer no longer responds to it.
In June, he wrote an open letter to Brazilian football legend Vladimir Putin. Pele urged the President of the Russian Federation to stop the war, which “brings nothing but pain, fear and hatred.”
