Pele hospitalized battling cancer: daughter says it’s not an emergency

Brazil­ian foot­ball leg­end Pele has been hos­pi­tal­ized as part of his bat­tle with can­cer, his daugh­ter announced Wednes­day on social media, adding that there was “no sur­prise or emergency.”

Kel­ly Nasci­men­to’s Insta­gram post comes after ESPN Brazil report­ed that Pele was admit­ted to Albert Ein­stein Hos­pi­tal with “a gen­er­al­ized swelling” and is under­go­ing sev­er­al tests to fur­ther assess his health prob­lems. It was conducted.

“There are a lot of alarm bells in the media today about his father’s health. He is adjust­ing his med­ica­tion in the hos­pi­tal,” Nasci­men­to wrote. There are no “emer­gen­cies” or “new seri­ous prog­noses.” I will def­i­nite­ly go on New Year’s Day, so I promise to post pictures. ”

The 82-year-old had a colon tumor removed in Sep­tem­ber 2021, and has been in and out of the hos­pi­tal reg­u­lar­ly for treat­ment since then.

A source con­firmed to ESPN Brazil that Pele has under­gone sev­er­al tests to fur­ther eval­u­ate his health problems.

Pelé’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive and the Albert Ein­stein Hos­pi­tal did not imme­di­ate­ly respond to a request for com­ment, but med­ical staff report arthropa­thy, gen­er­al­ized ede­ma and decom­pres­sion of heart fail­ure, accord­ing to peo­ple famil­iar with the matter. .

Offi­cials also con­firmed that med­ical staff were con­cerned that Pele had heart prob­lems and that the chemother­a­py would not work.

Regard­ed as one of the great­est foot­ballers of all time, Pele has had a series of health prob­lems in recent years, includ­ing surgery on his hip joint, which recurred in pain and made it dif­fi­cult for him to walk on his own.
