'I'm hoping by me coming here today, speaking out, letting folks know that you can survive
"I have four things to be concerned about: prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma and breast cancer," he told"The rest of my life I have to be very much aware and conscious and do all of the early detection... for the rest of my life.”
He says he’s taking steps to be healthier, including quitting drinking, and incorporating exercise and meditation into his routines."Things that used to be important... are not important to me now," he said."[I] just look at the world differently." Knowles said that he was coming forward because he wanted to let other Black men know that this could happen to them too. They should keep that in mind and get tested, he noted.
"I’ve learned that the numbers that we have for men on breast cancer are not adequate because we don't have enough men that come forward that take the exam," Knowles told."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. I can't over emphasize the word 'early.'"
