Ford was admitted to Humber River Hospital for, “further investigation to obtain a definitive diagnosis,” said Dr. Reuben Devlin. Ford had reportedly been complaining of stomach pains prior to a trip to the emergency room.

Devlin said on Wednesday that Ford’s stomach pains had, “persisted for over three months.”

It was not immediately clear what type of tumor Ford may have, and Devlin said that any determination on treatment would be delayed until that determination is made.

“What we really need is a biopsy,” Devlin said at a Wednesday news conference, “to be able to look at exactly what tumor it is, and also to investigate to see if the tumor is anywhere else.”

Ford’s brother, Councillor Doug Ford said on Wednesday that his brother was “in good spirits.”
