It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,and Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles, just revealed his fight with breast cancer.
He appeared on “Good Morning America” this morning to talk about his battle and told host Michael Strahan that he was diagnosed about two months ago after he and his wife noticed small dots of blood on his shirts and the bedsheet.
Matthew underwent surgery in July and said he is doing well, but he wanted to share his story to urge other men to get tested as well.
“I’m hoping by me coming here today, speaking out, letting folks know that you can survive this. But it has to be early detection. And I can’t overemphasize the word early,” he said.
According to the American Cancer Society, there will be about 2,670 cases of breast cancer in men this year in the United States alone. About 500 will die from the disease.
Early detection is KEY to fighting cancer and having the best outcome.
