Tina Knowles, mother of the artists Beyoncé and Solange, has shared for the first time a deeply personal experience: she was diagnosed with early breast cancer.
In an exclusive interview with the magazine Peoplethe 70 -year -old designer and author reported how this episode marked her life and the importance of not neglecting routine medical checks.
The writer also, who recently launched her book Matriarchhe confessed that In July last year he received the unexpected diagnosis after doctors detected a tumor in his left bosom. The news took her by surprise, especially because she thought she was up to date with her mammograms. “I forgot that I had not taken the exam two years before. With the pandemic, I was canceled and I simply thought I had already done it.”he said. That confusion, he explains, could have cost him expensive. “I shive to think about what could have happened”he expressed frankly.
Knowles explained that he has no family history or genetic load associated with this disease, and that his case is not related to the history of his ex -husband, Mathew Knowles, who was also diagnosed with breast cancer years ago.
The author said that in her healing process the support of her daughters was key. “Beyoncé took it easy, positive, his mind was already in solution mode”he wrote in his book. Solange, meanwhile, did not hesitate to say: “Mom, we are going to take care of this”. Kelly Rowland and her niece Angie Beyince were also next to her as an unconditional support network.
After undergoing surgery to remove the tumor, and take the opportunity to perform a breast reduction, Tina claims to be free of cancer and stronger than ever. “I want to give people hope”he said. Today she feels renewed, she has improved her eating habits, she has lost weight and, as she says, “I want to show that you can go through this and continue seeing you fabulous”.
Your message is clear and urgent: not postponing medical exams and putting health as a priority.
