TORONTO – Rob Ford called in from his hospital bed to thank people for their support after his recent cancer surgery.
The former Toronto mayor also thanked those who attended a fundraiser Thursday night, as his brother Doug played the call from his cellphone.
Doug Ford ran unsuccessfully for mayor after Rob ended his re-election campaign when he received the cancer diagnosis.
The former mayor faces months of recovery following successful surgery at a Toronto hospital to remove a cancerous tumour from his abdomen.
His surgery followed several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation which he said had reduced his tumour to an operable size.
Ford abandoned his mayoral re-election bid last September after doctors discovered his rare, aggressive malignant liposarcoma. He was elected to council instead.
