Tina Knowles Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis After Missed Mammogram

Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé and Solange, revealed Tuesday that she had a private battle with breast cancer. During an interview with CBS Mornings, Knowles said the cancer was found after a delayed mammogram appointment. Knowles said she missed a routine mammogram appointment during the COVID-19 pandemic and did not reschedule it until last year, nearly four years later. (The American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram every 1 to 2 years for women over 55.) Because if I had not gotten my test early, I mean, I shudder to think what could have happened to me.”
