Tragedy as blogger di£s of breast cancer at 39 after declaring she was ‘cured’

A popular livestreamer who documented her battle with cancer online has did just months after announcing to her followers that she was “cured”. Chen Meiying, a 39-year-old mum of one, passed away on October 12 after a year-long fight with triple-negative breast cancer. Her diagnosis in 2024 had completely upended her life, forcing her to close her small clothing shop and watch as mounting hospital bills burned through her family’s savings. She turned to livestreaming on social media platform TikTok, where she would sing traditional songs on camera in exchange for donations. On April 16, Meiying, originally from Chongqing, China, stunned her audience by removing her IV line and declaring herself “cured”. But just two months later, the cancer returned and spread rapidly to her bones and internal mammary lymph nodes.  Doctors told her there was no cure left – only treatments to extend her life. Even as her health declined, Meiying refused to give up on her daily routines. Her teenage daughter, who was in her final year of high school, remained her biggest motivation – and Meiying insisted on continuing the school run, even when she was in pain. She shared her final post on September 22, and by September 26, she was hospitalised again. Meiying did on October 12 and was laid to rest in her hometown a few days after her de@th. She is survived by her elderly mother.The post Tragedy as blogger dis of breast cancer at 39 after declaring she was ‘cured’ appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
