On his way to drive voters to the polls, a bald and raspy-voiced Rob Ford revealed that he is heading for an important diagnostic test on Wednesday.
“We’ll do a full CT scan and see if this tumour has shrunken,” he told a reporter on Monday. “Hopefully it has, and they can operate and get rid of it, or we can go to radiation.”
The Toronto mayor – on his last day on the job – added that he’s feeling better now than in the days after he received chemotherapy. “Right after chemo, it’s definitely a little rough.”
Ford dropped out of the election race in September after learning he has a rare form of cancer.
His brother, Doug Ford, entered the race instead and will learn today, after polls close at 8 p.m., whether he will become the city’s next mayor.
Rob Ford, who said he will attend an election-result ‘viewing party’ at his mother’s house, offered this prediction: “I believe that my brother is going to get about 45 or 46 per cent of the vote.”
