Toronto Mayor Ford Diagnosed With Rare Cancer: Doctor
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has a rare form of cancer, his doctor said.
The liposarcoma, a cancer of the fat cells, is in his abdomen and has spread to his buttock, said Dr. Zane Cohen, who’s overseeing Ford’s treatment at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
Ford, 45, will start chemotherapy within the next 48 hours, Cohen said. Ford has been at the hospital since Sept. 11 after complaining of stomach pain for three months.
“It’s a fairly aggressive” tumor, Cohen said at a press conference today.
Ford, who admitted in November to smoking crack cocaine and spent two months in rehab this year, withdrew his bid for re-election last week amid the health crisis. His brother Doug Ford will run for mayor of Canada’s biggest city for the Oct. 27 vote instead.
