Posting here as Mr Allen has been a key supporter and game changer in the history of the Seti Institute. Treatments now-a-days is far more effective & less arduous than the regiment he likely went through 25 years ago. Despite his higher age, I would think the 10++ year outlook is positive, esp as Allen is otherwise fit & active. But I guess Vulcan felt the obligation to issue a Press Release, even though Allen, like many contemporary executives, keeps a tight lip on his private life. ------------------------------ SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a spokesman for Allen's firm Vulcan Inc. confirmed Monday. Allen, who founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975 but later left the company, was previously diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in 1983, but was successfully treated. Allen has invested in a number of ventures since leaving Microsoft, including Charter Communications Inc. and the Portland Trail Blazers professional basketball team. Link is here. |

Posting here as Mr Allen has been a key supporter and game changer in the history of the Seti Institute. Since this is in Politics, not the cafe ... It is likely going to be called the Steve Jobs rule for publicly traded companies. No key person in the company may have private medical facts if there is a one in a million shot that it might impact the person's ability to do the job. |
