Mathew Knowles, famous father to Beyoncé and Solange, isn't talking about music or the entertainment industry these days, but rather his story of survival and what everyone should know about male breast cancer.
Friday, November 1, 2024 4:57PMMathew Knowles, famous father to Beyoncé and Solange, talked to ABC13 about the importance of genetic testing after his breast cancer diagnosis.
The most common symptoms are a lump or swelling in the breast, redness or flaky skin on the breast, irritation or dimpling of breast skin, nipple discharge and pulling of the nipple, or pain in the nipple area. "That kind of changed everything when I found out I was BRCA mutated," he said, adding that he's BRCA2 positive, specifically. "It means for men that you have a higher risk, not necessarily that you will get it, but a higher risk of male breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer as well as melanoma. For women, it means ovarian cancer possibly as well as breast cancer.
But the testing can also give you insight into other diseases and potential health challenges, Alzheimer's and risk of strokes.
