For the first time, Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, has shared her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The story of her health scare is disclosed in her new memoir, Matriarch: A Memoir.
Knowles learned of the illness during a mammogram that had been postponed for several years.
“My doctor told me I had breast cancer,” she wrote.
“A small tumour in my left breast that was cancerous; the larger tumour in my right breast was benign, but it would also have to go.
“She said I was Stage 1A, assuring me my prognosis was good. The next step was to talk to an oncologist and a breast surgeon.”
Knowles waited until the day of the diagnosis to share the news with Beyoncé.
“She took it well, staying positive, and I could already feel her mind racing, focusing on this as a task to tackle with precision,” she said of how Beyoncé reacted to her breast cancer diagnosis.

“She would find me the top specialist, and I distinctively remember her telling me, ‘I want you to get a second opinion on whatever the course of treatment is’,” Knowles added.
Knowles revealed that her famous daughter, Beyoncé, arranged for her to meet with one of the top breast surgery specialists in the country for a private consultation.
Following the surgery, which also involved a breast reduction, Knowles shared that she was declared cancer-free.
