What is the actual cause of death when a person dies of non-hodgkens lymphoma? I understand it's a type of lymphatic cancer, but how does it kill?
RIP
Lymphoma is a blood cancer of the lymphatic system. Lymphoma is one of the more common broad categories of cancer. Lymphoma can be divided into Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin. Paul Allen was diagnosed with unspecified non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the 1980s. There are 60 different types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and one of the more common forms is Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Allen disease likely transformed when it was diagnosed as DLBCL in 2009. Transformation is where the histology of the disease mutates to another form. In DLBCL the B-Cells metastisize and grow in size and spread thru the lymphatic system. Allen likely had an indolent form in the early stages and most therapies can extend life several decades which seems to be the case with Mr. Allen.
I am a 68 year old male and was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma 3a this past January. On January 20th after running an indoor mile race in 6:32 I noticed a lump on my left shoulder. Follicular Lymphoma 3a is very similar in histology to DLBCL. I was treated with four and a half months of R-CHOP Chemotherapy and a month of Radiotherapy. Diagnosis for my disease averages age 65 and in a similar fashion (exposed lump). Statistically the odds are I will live to my life expectancy but it is cancer.

It can vary, the lymphoma overtime typically spreads to lymph nodes throughout the body. The nodal tumors can press on other organs or transform into lymphomatous involvement with other organs.
Treatment is effective and resultts in cure for many forms of lymphoma. Second line treatments are successful in relapsed lymphoma. Last stand treatments are stem cell transplants. New therapies are being created rapidly and center or altering the trajectory of metastasis.

Scary stuff, but I hope you can continue living a decent quality of life. Best wishes in staying healthy and strong. Maybe you can retire soon, cut back a bit on the stress of a working life and enjoy some nice jogs in the park.
Thanks doing well. It has been nearly nine months since my diagnosis and I still have tomorrow’s radiotherapy treatment, then done. The odds are about 80% I will have no issues, if I do it will be in the first two years and there are other treatment options. Since I was healthy otherwise I able to handle a pretty rigorous treatment regime. Hey, this morning I ran four miles of track work at 5:30 am at 27 degrees. I can’t be that bad, right.?

Just goes to show, no matter how much money you have, we all die the same. No wife, no kids, described as a bit of a recluse. Sounds like someone people on Letsrun could relate to.

I am pretty sure he lived a full life, his style. Most of us make the same choices, just our version.

Not sure if he believed in God or not, don't think Bill Gates does.
Crtl-Alt-Del won't work in resetting your health.
He apparently was a very good guitarist.
Hope he believed in something other than 0's and 1's. Pay attention Jamin, money can't get you into heaven!

“Welcome and come on in.”
He was a brilliant man - obviously most well known for Microsoft and owning the Blazers and Seahawks. But he was also a philanthropist, giving away over 2 billion in his lifetime, with most of his estate now also going to charity.
He had incredible and diverse passion projects - from starting a brain/neurology research institute, to founding the Experience Music Project” in Seattle, to being on the board (and donating $10million to) of the Oregon Shakespear Festival.
Definitely a person who made a huge positive impact in the world, and will be missed (especially in the PNW)
Didn't he also just find the Indianapolis recently?
SomeThings wrote:... founding the Experience Music Project” in Seattle...I'd never heard of that until we made a random weekend trip to Seattle a few years ago. That is a super cool museum with a ton of hands on activities and a huge assortment of guitars, many from famous musicians. If you go up the nearby tower and look down, the building is shaped like Jimi Hendix noodling on guitar. So cool. :-)

I think at their echelon of thinking they
know that there are much better states
in what David Bowie calls, "the scheme of things."
