MIAMI – Beyoncé’s mother and father have both survived breast cancer.
While promoting her new memoir “Matriarch,” her mother, Tina Knowles, disclosed she was diagnosed with stage 1 in July.
Knowles noted that the cancer in her left breast probably could have been detected earlier had she not missed a mammogram.
Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, was diagnosed in 2019. He also tested positive for the BRCA 2 mutation, which increases the risk of breast cancer by up to 85%.
