RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazilian football legend Pele took to social media to hail the support of his family as he continues his fight against cancer. A smiling Pele posted an image on Wednesday in which he is holding a replica of the 1970 World Cup trophy while surrounded by five family members.

"As always, celebrating every small victory!" the 81-year-old said in a message accompanying the photo. "I received a visit from the family and decided to share this moment with you. Surrounded by love, it's easy to see that life is a gift."

Pele is currently resting at his home in Guaruja, outside Sao Paulo, following surgery to remove a tumor from his colon last September. He has since undergone regular chemotherapy sessions. IANS
