Tina Knowles recently shared her breast cancer experience in her memoir called Matriarch. She found out about her illness during a mammogram appointment she had put off for years. Doctors told her she had a small cancerous tumor in her left breast and a large benign tumor in her right breast. They said she had Stage 1A cancer with good chances for recovery. They recommended she talk with specialists about next steps.
Tina waited until diagnosis day to tell Beyoncé about her condition. Beyoncé stayed positive and approached the news as a problem they could solve together. She promised to find top medical help for her mother and advised getting second opinions on all treatment plans. Beyoncé arranged for her mother to meet with one of the best breast surgery specialists in America. After surgery that also reduced her breast size, Tina became cancer-free.
