"The tranquility to be on the side of my dear Mrs. Marcia and our inseparable companion Cacau," wrote Pelé on Twitter on Friday to a photo with wife and dog. "The treatment is difficult, but felt their love is the best medicine. Dark home, luck alone."
The patient is in good and stable state, reported about the Brazilian news portal "G1", citing the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo. Pelé had been in the hospital since Monday.
The 81-year-old had been a tumor at the colon at the beginning of September, the doctors had discovered in a clinic in São Paulo at a routine examination. After surgery, Pelé was first treated in the intensive care unit. Around a month he had to remain in the hospital after the procedure.
