What happens when a world-renowned music executive faces a life-changing diagnosis?

In this Groundbreaking episode of All Talk Oncology (Ep. 74), I sit down with none other than YES, the father of Beyoncé and Solange for a conversation that will stop you in your tracks. We’re diving into a topic almost never discussed: MALE BREAST CANCER ✊🏾

It all began with something so small Ni**le discharge on a white T-shirt. That single red flag set Matthew on a path to a mammogram, a Stage 1A diagnosis, and the discovery of his BRCA2 genetic variant.

But this isn’t just a story about cancer.. It’s about.. LIFE AFTER.
• Shedding 40 lbs and reclaiming health.
• Walking every day with a new sense of purpose.
• Finding healing through therapy, faith, and laughter.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month we opened an episode that is a wake-up call and an inspiration rolled into one:
• The truth about genetic testing you can’t afford to ignore.
• Why men must pay attention to warning signs.
• How mental health and community are key to survival and joy.

This episode is kore than cancer.. It’s about families caregivers, and communities that walk this journey together. Because, You are not alone in this, We’re in this together.

This is Kenny Perkins A.K.A. Your Cancer Guy your Host and Advocate.
🎙️ *All Talk Oncology Ep. 74 premieres MONDAY, Sept. 29* and trust me, you don’t want to miss this. This isn’t just another episode; It’s a conversation that could save lives. 💭

What happens when a music executive’s precision meets a life-changing diagnosis?

In this Very Special Episode of All Talk Oncology (Ep. 74), I sit down with Matthew Knowles.. yes, the father of Beyoncé and Solange to talk about something rarely spoken about: MALE BREAST CANCER.

It all started with one small sign.. Discharge on a white T-shirt. That tiny detail led Matthew to push for a mammogram, uncover a Stage 1A diagnosis, and discover he carried the BRCA2 genetic variant.

But this story isn’t just about a diagnosis.. It’s about Early detection, family history, resilience, and community. From losing 40 lbs and walking daily, to finding strength in therapy and faith, Matthew shares how he rebuilt a life filled with joy, movement, and laughter.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Listen as we go over through these topics:
• Why genetic testing matters.
• Why men need to pay attention to overlooked red flags.
• Why mental health and support systems change everything.

This episode is more than cancer. It’s about the families, caregivers, and communities that walk this journey together. Because none of us are alone.

Healing isn’t only about treatments and scans. It’s also about the small choices we make every day to care for our hearts, minds, and bodies.

🌿 Rest is part of your healing. You don’t need to earn it.. Rest is medicine.
🌿 Let yourself be carried. Lean on loved ones. Strength is found in community, not just in standing alone.
🌿 Move gently. A stretch, a walk, a sway to your favorite song. Reminders that your body is still yours.
🌿 Give your feelings a place to land. Journal. Doodle. Pray. Let your emotions breathe outside of you.
🌿 Find peace in small practices. Even one mindful breath can remind you: calm is still possible.

Healing is not a straight line. Some days it’s loud and brave, other days it’s quiet and soft. Both are part of your strength. 💛

It’s more than just being “tired.” It’s the weight you carry when bravery feels heavy, when treatments blur into endless cycles, when you start questioning who you are outside of being a patient.

👉 Emotional overload.
👉 Treatment fatigue.
👉 Feeling disconnected.
👉 Identity lost in the shuffle.
👉 Hope slipping away.

If you’ve felt this—please know, you’re not weak. These feelings are signals, not failures. They’re reminders that your spirit needs care, just as much as your body does.

✨ Rest is resistance.
✨ Asking for help is strength.
✨ Reconnecting with yourself—your joy, your faith, your community—is healing, too.

You are more than your diagnosis. You are still YOU. đź’ś

I know you’re tired of being strong all the time. Tired of the endless appointments, the explaining, the smiling when deep inside you just want to rest. That’s not weakness — that’s cancer burnout. 💭

It can look like emotional overload, treatment fatigue, even losing a sense of who you are outside of being “a patient.” Sometimes it’s the loneliness or that creeping thought of, “What’s the point?”

But here’s the truth: these feelings don’t mean you’re failing. They mean your spirit needs care just as much as your body. 🌱

So if you’re feeling this right now, please know.. you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. 💜

Let’s be real—sometimes the hardest part of cancer isn’t just the treatment, it’s the conversations.

Over the years working with patients, I’ve seen how certain phrases though well-intentioned can feel heavy or dismissive. Words matter. They can either feel like pressure… or like comfort.

That’s why I put this together. Not to shame anyone, but to help us all love better, listen deeper, and show up in ways that truly matter. 💙

✨ Instead of trying to “fix” things with words…
👉 Try validating, noticing, or simply being present.

Because sometimes, what a cancer patient needs most isn’t advice.. it’s to know they’re not walking this road alone.

What happens when breast cancer collides with purpose? đź’—

On Episode 73 of All Talk Oncology, I had the honor of sitting down with Sherell Kinsler, a Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer survivor, founder of , and a woman who chose to fight for more than just herself.

From being denied a mammogram before her diagnosis… to going through chemo alone during the pandemic… to losing her father to prostate cancer… Sherell’s story is raw, real, and rooted in faith. 🙏

Yet through it all, she built a nonprofit that gives women wigs, rides, prayer, and hope—because she believes no one should fight cancer alone.
Her words will move you. Her courage will inspire you. And her purpose will remind you that even in the hardest storms, there’s always light.

💭 “Inside the head of a cancer patient”
These words hit differently, because they’re real.

Cancer isn’t just about treatments, scans, and statistics.
It’s about the quiet battles nobody sees:
🫀 Pretending to be brave when you’re terrified inside.
🌑 Fearing the unknown more than the medicine.
💔 Missing the “old me” while learning to love the “new me.”
⚔️ Fighting fear as hard as you fight the disease.
🙂 Smiling while silently carrying pain.

This is the reality so many live every single day. And sometimes, the greatest gift we can give someone is compassion to look beyond the smile, listen without judgment, and remind them they’re not alone.

At All Talk Oncology, these are the conversations we have. Honest. Raw. Human. Because cancer isn’t just a medical journey.. it’s an emotional one too.

đź©ş One of the most powerful questions you can ask your oncologist is this:
“What does success look like for this treatment?”

Because success doesn’t always mean the same thing.
For some, it’s shrinking the tumor.
For others, it’s keeping the cancer from spreading.
And for many, it’s about quality of life — having more time, more energy, more you.

When you’re in the middle of this fight, clarity is everything.
Knowing the goal helps you make decisions with confidence, and it keeps hope rooted in something real.

At All Talk Oncology, we believe no patient should ever feel like they’re walking blindly through treatment. Knowledge is power and every conversation with your doctor can change the way you see your journey.

🎧 Tune into Episode 72 hosted by me, Kenny Perkins AKA Your Cancer Guy — for more insights like this.

Because success isn’t one-size-fits-all. And your story deserves to be defined by you. 🫶

What does it really feel like to live with cancer? đź’”
It’s not just about treatments and scans—it’s the quiet questions and hidden worries that most never hear.

“Will I ever feel like myself again?”
“I’m tired of being the strong one.”
“Every scan feels like holding my breath until the phone rings.”

These aren’t just thoughts.. they’re daily battles. Cancer doesn’t just affect the body, it reshapes identity, emotions, even relationships. And yet… patients often carry it all while smiling, while reassuring everyone else they’re “fine.”

But here’s what matters most: please see the person, not just the diagnosis. 🤍

Have you ever paused before texting or talking to a friend with cancer, wondering, “What do I even say?” 💭
You’re not alone.

Here’s the truth → Sometimes the phrases we think are supportive can actually feel empty or distant. Not because we mean harm, but because cancer changes how words land. Instead of saying “Let me know if you need anything,” imagine the impact of “I’m free today, want me to drive you to your appointment or help with the house?” 💙

It’s not about perfect words.. it’s about presence. Showing up in ways that remind someone they’re seen, valued, and not going through this alone.

So if you’re unsure what to say, start with this: “You matter to me, and that’s not changing.” That single sentence can bring comfort no treatment ever could. ✨

👉 Save this for the next time you’re supporting someone. It may mean more than you realize.
