In his first Instagram post after the operation, he joked, "I'm looking forward to playing again."
With his first personal health update this week, Pele reverted to his characteristic humour, insisting: "Don't worry, I'm just getting ready for the holiday season," and receiving hundreds of letters of support from admirers around the world, including Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Friends, you know that I've been receiving brief chemotherapy treatments as part of my treatment since September 30th, when I left the hospital," he wrote beside a selfie of him in his hospital bed, a grin on his face and his left fist clinched.
"Today at Albert Einstein, I'm doing the final session of 2021."
I'd want to express my congratulations on your achievement.
"After all, don't you believe that every minor triumph should be celebrated?"
"I'm going to take a new battery of examinations with this opportunity, so I'll be here for a few days."
I'm just getting ready for the holidays!" "Don't worry, I'm just getting ready for the holidays!"
