On the evening of December 3, Beijing time, according to the latest news from Brazilian media Folha, the 82-year-old King of Football Pele did not respond to chemotherapy and was receiving palliative care.
The media learned that Bailey has been undergoing chemotherapy since undergoing colon tumor surgery in September last year, but now he no longer responds to chemotherapy. Bailey is receiving palliative care, a treatment for non-radical treatment, which means chemotherapy has been suspended. The media asked the hospital for confirmation, but the other party did not confirm or deny it. After hearing this bad news, many fans prayed for Bailey on social platforms.
It is understood that Bailey was sent to the Lbert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil for treatment last Tuesday due to "swelling of the whole body" and " heart failure ". Yesterday, Bailey also reported his safety to fans on social platforms. He said that he was just undergoing regular monthly checks and there was nothing serious. Thank you for your concern. Bailey's daughter Kelly also posted a message saying that everyone should not panic, and that his father's wish this time was not an accident or an emergency.
Hospital issued an announcement today stating that Fighting King does not need to enter intensive care unit , but was diagnosed with respiratory infection , and the condition is stable, so you only need to continue to be hospitalized for treatment. Bailey's hospitalization time was not determined, but his wife Marcia and the paramedics would be by his bed 24 hours a day.
Since he was diagnosed with colon tumor at the end of August 2021, Bailey has been fighting bowel cancer. Four days later, he underwent tumor removal surgery at Albert Einstein Hospital and was sent to the intensive care unit multiple times due to respiratory problems. He started chemotherapy shortly afterwards and was sent back to the hospital in December 2021 for more anti-cancer treatments and was discharged before Christmas.
In February this year, Bailey was admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy. At that time, he was still joking on social media: "I hope I can go to the Super Bowl game soon." But later the doctor found out that his urethral was infected, so his hospital stay was extended and he was postponed to discharge on February 28.
In addition to fighting cancer, Bailey, 82, has also undergone three hip surgeries and has been struggling with his ability to move in recent years. Fortunately, he has a Japanese wife who is 25 years younger than him.
