“Results of Ford biopsy will take about a week”

Doctors at  Mount Sinai Hospital have conducted a biopsy on the tumour in Mayor’s Ford’s abdomen. But it will take about a week for them to analyse the results and make a firm diagnosis. Colorectal expert Dr. Zane Cohen told the media Thursday evening that there was very little he could tell them.  “Today we did a CT scan and biopsy of the mass in the abdomen,” he said. “We also did a CT scan of the chest and an ultrasound examination.”   Mr. Ford will undergo an MRI on Friday and a team of medical experts will meet to “decide the next steps.” “He is resting comfortably,” Dr. Cohen said. “He has some pain. We are giving him some pain medication for that. He is surrounded by family members and that’s about it. Not much more than what you heard last night. We are still in a holding pattern.”
