Rob Ford has tumour, faces test to determine its dangers
Rob Ford’s(Open Rob Ford’s policard) future in the mayoral race is again in question after he was admitted to hospital with an abdominal tumour on Wednesday.
“Examination and investigation today reveal that he has a tumour,†said Humber River Hospital’s president and CEO Dr. Rueben Devlin.
Doctors are still looking for a definitive diagnosis, Devlin said. It is not yet known what kind of tumour Ford has.
A CT scan revealed it is in his abdomen, but a biopsy is still needed to determine the type of tumour — which Devlin said is “not small†— and whether it is malignant. Ford went to the hospital’s Church St. site in North York under his own power before being admitted.
It is not clear how long he will remain there. Devlin said he hopes their examinations will be done by the week’s end.
Ford was complaining of “left, lower quadrant abdominal pain†for three months before the pain became “unbearable†Wednesday morning, Devlin said
