Pele receives medical discharge after two weeks hospitalized

Brazilian star Edson Arantes do Nascimento Skin received this Thursday the medical discharge after about two weeks admitted to a hospital in Sao Paulo, and colon tumor treatment will continue which was detected in September and for which he has already been operated.

“The patient is stable and will continue the treatment of the colon tumor, identified in September of this year ”, announced the newsletter of the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, where the 81-year-old ex-footballer had been hospitalized since the second week of December.

The triple world champion with the Canarinha (1958, 1962 and 1970) had come to the clinic for the last chemotherapy session of the year and, in a complementary way, to another series of exams to know their health status.

Pelé was hospitalized in the same clinic on August 31 for routine examinations that he had postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and in which a tumor was detected in the colon, on which he underwent surgery days later.

He was discharged after a month in hospital and from there started chemotherapy treatment, to which, according to the doctors, he reacted “satisfactorily”.

As on that occasion, Pelé has left a message on his social networks throughout these last two weeks to reassure his followers.

“Do not worry, I’m just getting ready for the end of the year parties!”He said with good humor a few days after being hospitalized again this month.
