KENYAN LAWYERS BOYCOTT COURTS OVER ALLEGED JUDICIAL CORRUPTION. (PHOTO).
Music executive Mathew Knowles, father of Beyoncé and Solange, recently reflected on his 2019 breast cancer diagnosis and how his background helped him recognize the signs early.
Speaking on the Outlaws with T.S. Madison podcast, he explained that his years selling mammography equipment at Xerox gave him vital knowledge. When he noticed discharge from his chest, he immediately contacted his doctor and became the first man to request a mammogram from him.
Tests revealed Stage 1A breast cancer linked to a BRCA2 gene mutation, and Knowles underwent a mastectomy that saved his life.
Knowles emphasized the importance of early detection, crediting his awareness for catching the disease before it advanced. He described Destiny’s Child’s anthem “Survivor” as his personal soundtrack during treatment, underscoring his determination to fight.
He also highlighted how male breast cancer remains under-discussed, with about 2,700 men diagnosed annually in the U.S. According to Knowles, societal stigma often discourages men from speaking out, but he hopes his openness will encourage others to seek help and potentially save lives.
His story resonates even more given that his ex-wife, Tina Knowles, also faced breast cancer. In her memoir Matriarch, she revealed she had been diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer after missing a mammogram, though she is now cancer-free.
Together, their experiences highlight the critical role of awareness, regular screenings, and self-advocacy in battling the disease.
For Mathew Knowles, what began as a frightening diagnosis has become a mission to educate and empower others about male breast cancer.
Re: "Mathew Knowles Says Early Detection Saved Him From Breast Cancer"
ReplyDeleteYet MANY MORE people get mutilated and killed than "saved" by early detection via mammography!
Contrary to the official narrative (which is based on medical business-fabricated pro-mammogram "scientific" data), there is marginal, if any, reliable evidence that routine mammography – whether conventional, digital (3D), or AI-assisted – reduces mortality from breast cancer in a significant way in ANY age bracket:
"...the benefits of mass population screening, even in older women, are too small and the harm and cost generated too great to justify widespread implementation of screening mammography as a publicly funded health measure." (Charles J. Wright, M.D. & C. Barber Mueller, M.D., in The Lancet, 1995 [https://archive.ph/YU2LT])
BUT a lot of solid evidence shows the procedure does provide more serious harm than serious benefit (read the books: 'Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy' by Peter Gotzsche [https://www.amazon.com/Mammography-Screening-Truth-Lies-Controversy/dp/1846195853] and 'The Mammogram Myth' by Rolf Hefti - see author's synopsis at https://www.rolf-hefti.com/mammograms.html ).
IF........ women (and men) at large were to examine the mammogram data above and beyond the information of the mammogram business cartel (eg American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute, Komen), they'd also find that it is almost exclusively the big profiteers of the test, ie. the "experts," (eg radiologists, oncologists, medical trade associations, breast cancer "charities" etc) who promote the mass use of the test and that most pro-mammogram "research" is conducted by people with massive vested interests tied to the mammogram industry.
Most women (and men) are fooled by the misleading medical mantra that early detection by mammography saves lives simply because the public has been fed ("educated" or rather brainwashed) with a very one-sided biased pro-mammogram set of information circulated by the big business of mainstream medicine and their allied corrupt pawns in the governments. The above mentioned two independent investigative works show that early detection does not mean that there is less breast cancer mortality.
