Rob Ford’s biopsy results not known for a week: Doctor

TORONTO – A Toronto hospital says the results of the biopsy of a tumour found in Mayor Rob Ford’s abdomen will not be known for another week.

The 45-year-old mayor was first hospitalized Wednesday after seeking treatment for “unbearable” abdominal pain.

Doctors found a tumour in his abdomen that they described as “not small.”

Dr. Zane Cohen, an internationally recognized colorectal surgeon at Mount Sinai Hospital, says Ford is resting comfortably and has some pain, for which he’s receiving medication.

Ford had abdominal surgery in 2009 to remove a tumour on his appendix.

His father, Doug Ford Sr., died of colon cancer in 2006.

Ford is running for re-election in the city’s Oct. 27 municipal vote and it was not immediately known how the tumour diagnoses might impact his campaign.
