Doug Ford Says Brother Rob Has Two New Tumours On Bladder

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 06 Nov, 2015 11:34 AM
    Toronto city councillor Rob Ford has been re-admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital to undergo a new round of chemotherapy treatments.
     
    Doug Ford told CP24 that his brother has two new tumours on his bladder — one about five centimetres and the other seven.
     
    However, he said he couldn't comment on whether the tumours were believed to be malignant.
     
    He said the former mayor would be in hospital for the next five days and would likely face additional chemo after that.
     
    Rob Ford was diagnosed with liposarcoma last year, and after undergoing several rounds of chemo to shrink a tumour in his abdomen had an operation in May to remove it.
     
    Despite his latest health set back Ford said in a release that he intends to continue serving his constituents.
