<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The talent manager, 67, said that members of his family – which also includes daughter Solange Knowles – have been tested for the disease following his diagnosis.</p>
<p>Knowles told US TV show Good Morning America that he is a “survivor of breast cancer”, and that he is “doing really good” following surgery at the end of July.</p>

<p>He said that he noticed a small spot of blood occurring on his shirt and also on his bed sheets, which prompted him to go for a mammogram.</p>
<p>“Of all the things I could get, why would I get this?” he said.</p>
<p>“From a man’s perspective I’m thinking, why me?”</p>
<p>Knowles, who is best known for managing the R&;B group Destiny’s Child starring Beyonce, said that he has the BRCA2 gene, which means he has “four things to be concerned about: prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma and breast cancer”.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“The rest of my life I have to be very much aware and conscious and do all of the early detection, constant mammograms, constant prostate exams, constant MRI scans, for the rest of my life.”</p>
<p>He added: “The first call was to my family. Because this is genetic, it also means that my kids have a higher chance, a higher risk. Even my grandkids have a higher risk.</p>

<p>“And they handled it like they should. They went and got the test.”</p>
<p>Knowles said he wanted to speak out about his breast cancer diagnosis at the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month to encourage more men to get tested for the disease.</p>
<p>He said that he wants to show men that “you can survive this, but it has to be early detection”.</p>
<p>Knowles said that he has learned that “only 1%” of people in the US who get breast cancer are men, and that it is more common in black men than white men”.</p>
<p>According to the charity Breast Cancer UK, a British man’s risk of developing breast cancer is one in 870.</p>

<p>Knowles divorced wife Tina Knowles, Beyonce and Solange’s mother, in 2011, and he married second wife Gena Avery in 2013.</p>
