Rob Ford’s chief of staff Dan Jacobs says the former mayor is in palliative care at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Mr. Jacobs insists that this decision is simply to make the Ward 2 Councillor comfortable and is not end-of-life care. Ford is fighting a rare form of soft tissue cancer. He re-started chemotherapy in November after doctors discovered two new cancerous tumours on his bladder. It was learned in recent weeks that this treatment was not successful. Mr. Ford has been in hospital for the past three weeks as doctors work to decide whether the 46-year-old is healthy enough to undergo more treatment.
