Beyoncé’s Father Opens Up About His Battle with Breast Cancer

Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, has been sharing his personal journey with breast cancer to raise awareness about the disease. In recent interviews, he has emphasized the critical role of early detection in battling breast cancer. Knowles was diagnosed with stage 1A breast cancer in 2019 after noticing bloody discharge from his nipples. He underwent a mastectomy and genetic testing, which revealed he carries the BRCA2 gene mutation, increasing his risk for other cancers like prostate and pancreatic cancer.

Knowles has been an advocate for male breast cancer awareness, urging men to prioritize their health and wellness. He has also highlighted the importance of genetic testing and early screening, sharing his own experiences and encouraging others to do the same.

As part of his mission to raise awareness, Knowles has partnered with organizations like AstraZeneca’s BeBRCAware campaign to educate people about the importance of genetic testing and family history in cancer risk management.
