Tina Knowles has opened up about daughter Beyonce<\/a>’s reaction to herbreast cancer<\/a> diagnosis last year.<\/p>\n

The 71-year-old, who is set to release her new memoir Matriarch, opened up about her health<\/a> issues in a new interview, sharing that she was blindsided by the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

She explained that doctors discovered stage 1 cancer<\/a> in her left breast last July, after she missed her scheduled mammogram – and is using her platform to urge other women to get tested.<\/p>\n

In her book, the matriarch – also mom to Solange Knowles – shed light on how her daughters dealt with the news.<\/p>\n

She wrote, in an extract via Today, that Beyonce \u2018took it well, staying positive, and I could already feel her mind racing, focusing on this as a task to tackle with precision.<\/p>\n

\u2018She would find me the top specialist, and I distinctively remember her telling me, \u201cI want you to get a second opinion on whatever the course of treatment is,\u201d\u2019 she penned, via Today.<\/p>\n

The Halo singer \u2018lined up one of the top breast surgery specialists in the country\u2019 for her mother to get a private consultation, and moved her into her family home with husband Jay-Z, as well as children Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.<\/p>\n

\u2018Mom, we are going to take care of this,\u2019 Solange told her, as Kelly Rowland and her other family members quickly rallied around and ‘became my team.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tina gave her daughters a sweet shout-out in her speech at the Glamour 2024 Women of the Year event in October, with her words now taking on a deeper meaning.<\/p>\n

‘”They are my crew, my tribe, my rocks, my ride-or-dies,”‘ she recalled telling the crowd. ‘They have been right there by my side at the lowest points in my life…<\/p>\n

‘They cheered me on at the highest points of my life. Making me feel that I can conquer anything.<\/p>\n

\u2018And I think as women, sometimes we get so busy and we get so wrapped up and running around, but you must go get your test. Because if I had not gotten my test early, I mean, I shudder to think what could have happened to me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tina was diagnosed with cancer after missing her routine screening during the Covid-19 pandemic – she didn\u2019t reschedule her appointment until last year.<\/p>\n

It was at that appointment that doctors found two tumors \u2013 CBS reports that one was benign and the other had stage 1 cancer.<\/p>\n

She was later told that, had she kept up with her routine mammograms, they may have been able to detect the cancer at Stage 0.<\/p>\n

According to Cancer Research UK, Stage 0 is a pre invasive breast cancer \u2013 meaning the cancer cells are in the breast ducts and have not started to spread into the surrounding breast tissue.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 breast cancer is an \u2018early stage breast cancer\u2019 and \u2018means that the cancer is small and only in the breast tissue or it might be found in lymph nodes close to the breast\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s important not to slack on your mammograms,\u2019 she told People Magazine<\/a>, sharing that she initially \u2018struggled\u2019 with whether to include her battles in her book because of her private nature.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I decided to share it because I think it’s a lot of lessons in it for other women.<\/p>\n
