Seahawks, Blazers owner Allen says cancer has returned
Billionaire Paul Allen, owner of Seattle's Seahawks and Sounders along with the Portland Trail Blazers, announced Monday that his cancer has returned after nearly a decade in remission.
"I learned recently that the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that I was treated for in 2009 has returned. My team of doctors has begun treatment of the disease and I plan on fighting this aggressively," Allen said in a statement.
"A lot has happened in medicine since I overcame this disease in 2009. My doctors are optimistic that I will see good results from the latest therapies, as am I."
The Microsoft co-founder, 65, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 1982. He reportedly received radiation therapy and a bone-marrow transplant to fight that cancer, which ultimately forced him to leave Microsoft in 1983.
In 2009, Allen was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He underwent chemotherapy in that battle.
