Ok y'all know I'm not a fan of the Fords - any of them. I think they are low life's and lying sacks of shit. Anyhow, I don't mean to sound cold, this is a very sensitive subject but is it just me or could rob ford be lying about his cancer and chemo? Every time I see footage of him, his hair is stubbly and he never lost his eye brows after supposed 3 rounds of chemo? I've got a buddy who's dad is in his first round of chemo and he looks really really rough. I love his dad and it's hard to see someone who has been a great and positive influence on his son (my buddy) struggle thru this challenge.

So, I don't know much about chemo but after three rounds I'd expect Ford to look a lot rougher and have lost way more weight. Does chemo effects vary from the different types of cancer? I simply don't know but given Ford's track record and lack of integrity, could it be possible that he lied about it just to avoid the public shame if being beaten like a borrowed mule in the mayoral race? He's slippery and smart enough to know he was going to lose the election, maybe he came up with this as an excuse to avoid the election and keep his seat in Etobicoke out of sympathy?

I'm really not belittling anyone's struggle with cancer, it's a shit sandwich and hard on the family, I just don't trust the Fords in general.

Anyone know more or want to chime in? If he indeed has cancer, I'm not being disrespectful but that whole family has played us for fools before. I'm just curious if other people have noticed that he doesn't look that sickly?
 
It would depend on the protocol he is on..some deal with it quite well
I didn't fair too well my first time around, but came thru it pretty good the second time..

my son handled it extremely well no hair loss at all..and kept working part time thru the whole process

Wow! You are a strong man! I can't even imagine having to go thru that, let along watching your son. Terb always amazes me, such a wonderful collection of people, stories, compassion, and perseverance. I have the utmost respect for you, so courageous to share that story with us. Xoxo
 
Within the public health system it would be impossible to fake this. Period. You think the doctors would have come out with the press statements and kept there jobs.

From what I've heard it's actually worse than they are letting on. The tumor is the size of a grapefruit. And unless this second series of chemo can shrink it then that may be it. As in he will die.

The notion that the health care system could possibly pull off a fake of cancer is ludicrous. Period.

+1.........Hats off to you sir.
 
You don't have to lose all your hair or look like shit under chemo or radiation.

Also, I've gotta say that you guys are too influence by Hollywood drama on chemo and radiation therapy and what it does to a person which I had that same notion. In the movies, you always see the person bone thin, hairless, shaking, like they are at death's door. But it ain't like that at all.
 
No that's why I was asking respectfully. I wanted to get a broader perspective. While I'm not a fan of the Fords, I wouldn't wish the cancer experience on anyone.

Don't speak if you've never experienced cancer and chemo before. You don't have to lose all your hair or look like shit under chemo or radiation.

True
I ballooned up to well over 300 lbs. .. and looked like the Michelin tire man but that was more to do with the fact I was on a large dose of prednizone that and I had to eat like a horse!!!
increased my caloric intake 30% to counteract the drugs which was tough to do when you lose your sense of taste:frusty:..it was like chewing on WAX!!..LOL
