TORONTO (NEWS1130) – It appears there’s some good news for Rob Ford.
He says his main tumour has shrunk by more than 50 per cent.
Ford is in the hospital for his fifth chemotherapy session and is scheduled to be released on Friday.
After that, he’ll undergo 25 sessions of radiation.
In mid-September, Ford was diagnosed with malignant liposarcoma — a rare and aggressive form of abdominal cancer.
On Wednesday morning, Ford’s brother former city councillor Doug Ford and his mother Diane will present a $40,000 cheque to Humber River Hospital from the sale of bobbleheads.
In addition, the Ford family will also donate $50,000 of their own money to the hospital.
Rob Ford dropped his bid for mayoral re-election shortly after his diagnosis, opting instead to run for city council.
He was voted in as councillor for his old Ward 2 Etobicoke North on Oct. 27.
