微软创始人之一艾伦患淋巴瘤

Investor Paul Allen Diagnosed With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Paul Allen, the billionaire investor who co-founded Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), was diagnosed earlier this month with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is undergoing chemotherapy.

Allen, whose assets include cable provider Charter Communications Inc. (CHTRQ), professional sports teams and holdings in numerous technology startups, left Microsoft more than 25 years ago after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, from which he recovered.

In an email sent Monday afternoon to employees of Vulcan Inc., Allen's Seattle-based investment firm, Vulcan CEO Jody Allen said Mr. Allen's doctors say he has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Ms. Allen, Mr. Allen's sister, said in the email that the diagnosis is 'tough news for Paul and the family.'

'Paul is feeling OK and remains upbeat,' she said in the email. 'He continues to work and he has no plans to change his role at Vulcan. His health comes first, though, and we'll be sure that nothing intrudes on that.'

微软(Microsoft Corp.)创始人之一、亿万富豪保罗•艾伦(Paul Allen)，本月被诊断出非何杰金氏淋巴瘤，目前正在接受化疗。

艾伦的资产包括有线电视运营商Charter Communications Inc.，数支职业运动队，以及在多家科技创业企业的持股。25年多以前，他在被诊出何杰金氏病后离开微软，后来康复。

艾伦位于西雅图的投资公司Vulcan Inc.的首席执行长乔迪•艾伦(Jody Allen)周一下午发电子邮件告诉员工，艾伦的医生表示，他患了弥漫型大B细胞淋巴瘤。

乔迪•艾伦在电子邮件里表示，诊断结果对保罗和全家都是难以接受的消息。

她在邮件里说，保罗感觉良好，仍然很乐观。他还在工作，也没有打算调整在Vulcan里的角色。不过他的健康是第一位的，我们会保证这一点不受打扰。
