Global football icon Pele has been moved to palliative care as he has become unresponsive to chemotherapy in his battle with cancer, according to reports in his native Brazil.
The 82-year-old, who was taken to hospital last week, is receiving pain relief in an end-of-life ward as the treatment for his bowel cancer has stopped working. Pele was admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo on Tuesday with symptoms of ‘general swelling’ and ‘heart failure’.
