Prayers Pour In For Pelé Who Is Reportedly Not Responding To Chemotherapy. The soccer world received some unfortunate news about a legendary figure in the sport this weekend. According to several sources, Brazilian football great Pelé has been shifted to palliative care. This was decided after he allegedly stopped responding to chemotherapy.
His daughter, Kely Nascimento, stated that her visit to the hospital earlier this week was not an emergency.
“Lots of alarm in the media today concerning my dad’s health. He is in the hospital regulating medication,” Nascimento wrote. “There is no emergency or new dire prediction. I will be there for New Years and promise to post some pictures.”

Awful news that the great Pelé has been moved to end-of-life palliative care after he stopped responding to chemotherapy. The only footballer in history to win 3 World Cups, and an icon of the game at the level of Muhammad Ali in boxing. So sad.” Tweeted Piers Morgan.

In 2021, Pelé had a colon tumour surgically removed. He has gone in and out of the hospital ever since for treatment.
It’s time, for him surely
