Matthew Knowles Opens Up About Breast Cancer Fight: 'I Want to Save Lives'
Beyoncé and Solange Knowles' father, producer/manager Matthew Knowles, is speaking out about his male breast cancer diagnosis and treatment and his desire to use his public megaphone to speak out and, hopefully, save lives.Knowles, 68, spoke to People magazine about initially brushing off a telltale sign, then realizing that something was wrong in July 2019, when he saw a pinprick-sized red dot on his shirt."I was in disbelief," said Knowles, who knew to take care of his health after years of selling medical imaging equipment, including mammography machines. When another, similar spot, showed up a short time later, Knowles spoke to his wife, Gena Avery Knowles, about it and she mentioned that she'd also seen some spots on their sheets.
