Paul Allen has cancer... again

Microsoft co-founder being treated for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, is undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma, according to an e-mail sent by his sister, Jody Allen to staff of Vulcan Inc., his investment and real estate arm. Allen had been diagnosed with Hodgkins disease in 1983, forcing him to leave Microsoft to undergo radiation therapy and a bone marrow transplant. He is reportedly doing well and still at work.
