“I forgot that I did not go to do the test two years before what I should,” he says, “because the Covid arrived, they called me and canceled me, and they told me- ‘we will call you when we do tests again.’ And I thought I had already done it. So you can’t play with that«.
At the end of last year, Knowles underwent surgery to remove the tumor and a chest reduction. “I’m very well“, He says.”Without cancer and very lucky that God would allow me to detect it in time«.
