Football legend Pele 'is moved to end-of-life care' in hospital, as doctors stop chemotherapy with his body not responding to it in fight against bowel cancer.
If it's one thing that I know, cancer is no joke. I guess they are having Pele in hospice care. From what I heard, he was one of the greatest soccer players that ever lived.
