According to the Daily Mail, football legend Pele has been moved to a ‘end-of-life care’ ward in the hospital because his body is no longer responding to chemotherapy in his fight against bowel cancer.
According to reports from Brazil, the 82-year-old legend, who was admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo last week, is receiving pain relief measures.
Last Tuesday, he was admitted to the hospital with ‘general swelling’ and ‘heart failure.’
According to a Thursday update, the football legend is in a’stable’ condition in the hospital, with his daughter Kely stating that there is ‘no cause for alarm.’
He is no longer responding to the chemotherapy treatment he has been receiving since September to treat his bowel cancer.”
Palliative care is provided to patients who have potentially fatal diseases or conditions.
