The health of ‘O rei’
The Brazilian star was discharged last Saturday from the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in São Paulo, where he had been admitted since February 13 to sequence colon cancer treatment, according to his medical team in a statement.
According to the note, Pelé was forced to extend his stay in the medical center of the São Paulo capital after he contracted a urinary infection, from which he is already “cured” and for which he was discharged on the weekend..
“The patient is in stable clinical condition, already cured of his urinary infection, and will continue treatment for the colon tumor, identified in September 2021”the hospital announced.
On August 31, the triple world champion with Brazil (1958, 1962 and 1970) was hospitalized in that same clinic to perform routine tests that he had postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and in which the tumor was detected, which was operated on a few days later.
Since then, Pelé has undergone chemotherapy sessions that have routinely taken him to hospitalwhich has generated endless rumors about his state of health, which the former player himself has had to publicly deny on several occasions.
In addition to the tumor, Pelé’s health has deteriorated in recent years due to various problems with his spine, hip and knee, which have reduced his mobility and forced him to go through the surgical center.
