To speculate that Ford might be making this all up as a diversion tactic suggests that a whole team of medical professionals is also in on the con. I can't see it.
it's called a muffin top. sometimes overweight people think if they can manage to do up a pair of pants, then they fit. It doesn't matter that it's squeezing your lower abdomen flab up into your upper belly flab, and causing it to hang over your pants -- you did up the zipper and button -- Hooray! Now if you can just manage to find the "right" shirt for a little camouflage, and/or walk around all day with your gut sucked in, you're gonna look great!
Dressing a large body is frustrating, and sometimes involves delusion and self-deception.

I must admit I am impressed that technology has progressed so far as to be able to discern the difference between the tumor and the entirety that is RoFo.
Late signs and symptoms
Late signs and symptoms occur as the cancer grows larger or spreads to other parts of the body, including other organs. Not all people who have advanced colorectal cancer will have the following late signs and symptoms:
severe abdominal pain
And why would a hospital CEO do public announcements like these? Stink like high heavens.

It hasn't been diagnosed as a tumour yet, they're going by his symptoms and I assume tests have been ordered. Maybe he's really sick, but he's cried wolf so many times, I don't believe anything Rob or Doug say. I hope for his family he's okay, but after what he's put this city through, I'm finding it difficult to care about Rob's health. Sorry.I don't think this is a classic diversion. It's one thing to smash your own car window or show a threatening email to the media, but to fake a tumour? That's a tad extreme, no? IF this is a diversion then the potential news coming out must be huge for him to fake a tumour, but I don't think he is.
severe pain is bad...

why wouldn't he have had it checked sooner?
I've been told by various members of the media in Toronto that pretty much no one here broadcasts on a delay because our broadcast rules are not that strong, which is a good thing. The entire nation shouldn't freak out at a slip of the tongue or maybe slip of the nip on live TV.
Why not have it checked sooner?
a) hubris
b) just plain stupid
I can't think of any other reasons why someone with abdominal pain for 3 MONTHS doesn't get it checked out!
I bet he's got an ulcer, or enlarged liver from all the booze."working diagnosis" means uncomfirmed. I am surprised that the CEO would make an announcement without a diagnosis.
If dude's really sick I'm sorry, but there's been the broken toe, a trip to rehab and Rob himself lately saying he's seen doctors...I guess we'll have to wait and see what's going on.
