Tina Knowles is opening up about her health.
The matriarch, who is mom to Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, recently shared she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my left breast,” Tina told Gayle King during a April 22 appearance on CBS Mornings. “I’m getting emotional because it was like, you know I’ve always tried to take care of myself and I just, was in disbelief.”
Noting that she missed her mammogram during the COVID pandemic, the 71-year-old initially forgot to reschedule her screening, but did so last year, which is when doctors found two tumors. Though one was benign, the other was confirmed to be cancerous.
“It was stage 1, which I thought was the earliest stage,” she explained to Gayle. “And then when I told my sister, she said, ‘No, actually, there’s a zero.’ So if I had gone for my mammogram, I would’ve got it at the zero stage. Thank God, it was still very small, hadn’t spread. It was a very slow-spreading cancer.”
