Boston (DbTechNo) – Co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen has been diagnosed with a type of cancer known as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

He has already reportedly begun treatment for the blood cancer, and his prognosis is good.

This is the second time he has been diagnosed with cancer, as back in 1983 he was diagnosed and beat Hodgkin’s disease.

According to Forbes magazine, Allen is the 32nd richest person in the world.

“He’s feeling pretty good, he’s remaining very active at Vulcan and his other holdings and interests and he has no plans to cut back on any of that,” said Vulcan spokesman David Postman.

Allen founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, back in 1975.
