TORONTO – A Toronto radio station reports that the brother of Rob Ford says the former Toronto mayor has hit a “bump in the road” in his recovery from cancer.

Doug Ford told AM640 on Tuesday that “it’s not good news or bad news … but it’s nothing we can’t get over.”

The radio station says he declined to comment on the exact nature of the “bump” but added Rob Ford will hold a news conference “in the next day or so.”

Doug Ford said his brother is a fighter.

Rob Ford was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer which affects the connective tissues known as pleomorphic liposarcoma in September 2014.
