Rob Ford's Toronto

[JWBF]

It's about the right time to see evidence of recurrence.

Especially if you act like a moron with your health, and you need a distraction.

"Ford was effectively declared cancer-free last spring." It's always nice when the media posts horseshit.

He had a CAT scan and bragged about being cancer-free on SEPTEMBER 11.

Fords drove voters away from Conservatives more than Duffy: Poll

Interesting article. I had a moment though, looking at the second picture in the article, where Ford and Harper are leaving the rally. Third guy on the right. Thought it was Lisi for a second. But no way they would have let him in to that rally.

i like this part...

Lyle said the information should discourage politicians from buddying up with the Fords in the future. But, he’s not sure how closely they’ll take heed.

Ask anyone, especially a doctor when you can safely say you are cancer free. Declarations as such are dependent on the type of cancer and chance of reoccurrence. Anything coming from Robbie's mouth should be vetted by two sources. Reoccurrence for PSC is ~50/50 (?), and that is for a healthy person. Robbie's taxed immune system and weight are significant factors and would increase reoccurrence/complication chances.

Toronto police chief’s gala under fire for Muzik sponsorship

Clearly the chief hasn't heard of optics before. That's going to set the tone of his tenure well.

Don't forget the ACC.

Re Ford's "setback". A few people on my fb feed reported seeing him at Princess Margaret a few days (or a week?) ago. I guess Doug is dropping the vague setback news to time with the books. No way to make his quote re his teeth on Tory's testicles any more paletable, though....

Maybe Doug is this:

Could it be just a coincidence that whenever bad news breaks Ford receives a security threat or health setback?

Does it even matter anymore given the brand of his family?

JG... Did you ever get a sense from the statements about Rob's health about how well his surgeons were with achieving desired margins?

Not really. Rob's the one who described his previous appendicitis as a "tumour". I'm sure they got gross margins, but who knows about the microscopic margins... In any case, aggressive poorly-differentiated tumours like this kind of sarcoma *can* be cured if a complete resection can be completed. But that applies more to sarcomas arising from limbs. So it's not surprising that it's come back even though the surgery might have "succeeded" in May.

Keep in mind we didn't hear a peep from any doctors, just the Fords.

Shut the f**k up bitch! You'll blow my cover!

Abject apologies, but I've got a monster head cold and when my mind wanders I don't know where it will go. Lately I've been kinda obsessing about the "Quiet" Ford Bro, Randy. Out of the limelight, never heard from, but "the friendly guy" when he's not chemically supercharged into violent rages. The oldest brother so what's his relationship with Doug like? Doug's the businessman, the entrepreneur, is Randy the low profile "fixer", not the guy that makes the deals but the one that facilitates them? All we know about him is his ancient history of crude and crazed violence, that he's the guy that escorts mom, and the one in the office at Deco. Is he the one that's really takin' care of business?

 

[riffraff]

I'm not a dotor, but I'd say the pre-election shitshow and its aftermath would constitute a bump and a setback. When you're dealing with cancer maybe you need to set some real priorities.

I think he's kind of safely stowed away at Deco - Doug seems to be sales guy/go getter. Was still living with Mom (?). Also had some child support wranglings.

I understand that, but my point was that if a CAT scan found no evidence of cancer on September 11, I sincerely doubt he's had another one since. Or that a previously undetectable tumour could possibly grow that much in a month and a half.
