Beyonce’s mother diagnosed with breast cancer

Tina Knowles, mother of iconic artist Beyonce, has revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in a shocking turn of events.
"It's important not to slack on your mammograms," she warned, after having released her new memoir, Matriarch, and appearing in People’s World's Most Beautiful issue.
"I struggled with whether I would share that journey [in the book] because I'm very private. But I decided to share it because I think it's a lot of lessons in it for other women," she added. "And I think as women, sometimes we get so busy and we get so wrapped up and running around, but you must go get your test. Because if I had not gotten my test early, I mean, I shudder to think what could have happened to me."
Knowles admitted that she had ended up missing her mammogram, "I forgot that I didn't go to get my test two years before I thought I had because Covid came and they called me and canceled me and they said, we'll call you when we start testing again. And I just thought I had done it. So you cannot play around with that."
Of Beyonce’s reaction to the news, she wrote the singer “took it well, staying positive, and I could already feel her mind racing, focusing on this as a task to tackle with precision.”
