Back at the hospital in São Paulo to treat a colon tumor, King Pelé is optimistic or, at the very least, wanted to reassure his fans about his state of health.

The former Brazilian player left a message to his community on Instagram, with a photo to support it.

“Since September 30, when I left the hospital, I had small chemotherapy sessions as part of my treatment,” explains Pelé.

Today, I am with Albert Einstein for the last session of 2021. I wanted to share this success with you.

After all, every little victory should be celebrated.

I will take the opportunity to do a new battery of exams, so I will be staying here for a few days.

Don't worry, I'm just getting ready for the holiday season.

"There is no surprise, it was planned (that he returns to the hospital), it is part of the treatment," said his daughter, Kely Nascimento, who lives in New York, but was at the bedside of his father in September.

On September 4, Pelé was operated on at the same hospital to remove a colon tumor detected during routine examinations.

He then stayed for ten days in an intensive care unit, before returning briefly a few days later due to breathing difficulties.

Very few official medical bulletins have been published since the detection of this tumor.
