Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford asserted Thursday in that medical tests have shown in that a new tumour doctors discovered on his bladder is cancerous.
The former mayor underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumour in his abdominal area more than five months ago and had been on the mend but on Wednesday his office confirmed that doctors have located a second tumour on his bladder and that further treatment would be required.
The new tumour, whose size is not known, would be consistent with liposarcoma, rare cancer that forced Ford to halt his campaign for re-election in September 2014.
Last month he said he was cancer-free. Doctors told him they were “99% sure” that it was malignant, revealed Mr Ford, who is 45 years old.
‘I remain optimistic that I will be able to overcome this setback’, he tweeted.
Ford finished several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation in February.
“I’m not in fighting form now”.
“I was getting in better shape, feeling great, feeling better than I ever had in my life and now I’m just back to square one”, Ford told reporters, explaining that his diagnosis is for “a type of cancer that does spread”.
Nevertheless, Ford said that he “won’t stop fighting until the day he dies”. Ford, who was re-elected to Toronto city council after dropping out of the mayoralty race, said the pain was severe enough to keep him from fully taking part in a few of his political engagements.
Doug Ford said he’ll continue to speak with constituents in Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) where he previously served as a councillor before he took his brother’s place in the 2014 mayoral race.
Ford earned notoriety in 2013 when he refused to resign as mayor of Toronto, after acknowledging that he had smoked crack during his tenure.
