Mathew Knowles revealed he has breast cancer on GMA
and elaborated on the events leading up to his diagnosis in an accompanying essay.
Knowles said that he became concerned after he noticed a recurring dot of blood on his shirts. His wife, Gena Charmaine Avery, also noticed spots of blood on their bedsheets. Not long after, Knowles contacted his doctor and, after getting a mammogram, was diagnosed with breast cancer. "I have four things to be concerned about: prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma and breast cancer," he said. "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."
Breast cancer mostly affects women, but thousands of men are diagnosed in the U.S. annually. Knowles came forward with his own diagnosis in the hope that other men will be more aware and get tested.
