Beyoncé Father Matthew Knowles Narrates How He Discovered He Had Breast Cancer

Music executive and father of American singer, Beyoncé, Matthew Knowles has urged men to go for checkups, while narrated how he discovered he had Cancer.

Matthew Knowles, while urging men to go for a Cancer test, narrated how he found out he had the cell disease.

Mr. Knowles said he got to know he had the disease after noticing the white shirts his wife, Gana Avery got for him had red dots on them (blood stains).

He initially thought it had to do with the t-shirts because the red dots were always on the same spot on all the t-shirts.

He said he then asked his wife about the “black dots of blood” on his t-shirt and she told him that she also noticed those black dots of blood on the side of their bed sheets, which she washed a week before.

Mathew said he recalled that discharge of blood is one of the signs of breast cancer in men so he called his physician and said to him, “I need to get a mammogram”.

He got a mammogram the next day and then a biopsy, which showed he had breast cancer.

“And then a few days later, I had surgery and I had a mastectomy,” he recalled.

He explained that just before surgery, his surgeon told him there is one more test he wants him to undergo. When the result came out, it showed he was “BRCA2 mutated”.

Mutations in the BRCA2 gene are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in both men and women, as well as several other types of cancer, according to MedlinePlus.

Breast cancer is the same disease that claimed the lives of Mathew Knowles’ mother, aunt, and great-aunt.

Mr. Knowles then begged men to get tested because they too are susceptible to breast cancer.

Mathew Knowles is now cancer-free.
