A 25-year-old Chinese blogger has died after battling mid-to-late stage stomach cancer for over a year.
Before her death, she shared what she believed were the reasons she developed late-stage stomach cancer at such a young age: regularly skipping breakfast, irregular eating patterns, a preference for spicy food, and eating carelessly for dinner due to dieting.
According to Guangming Online, the blogger known as Qianqian, aged 25, passed away in the early hours of May 24.

Her death was announced by her friends and family.
Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Journey
Qianqian was diagnosed in March last year with poorly differentiated advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.
Doctors performed a complete gastrectomy to remove her entire stomach.
However, the cancer returned just one month after treatment ended, spreading to her abdominal cavity.
During her battle with cancer, she documented her condition and daily life through social media posts. Her final blog entry appeared on 28 April 2025.
In that post, she wrote that she had been unconscious for an entire day, that her abdominal tumors were growing larger, and that she was awake for shorter periods.
She didn’t even feel like picking up her phone and was in extremely poor spirits.
Lifestyle Factors Behind Early-Onset Cancer
Qianqian identified several habits that potentially led to her developing advanced stomach cancer at 25. She regularly skipped breakfast and maintained irregular eating patterns.

Her diet included very spicy foods, despite having a sensitive digestive system.
She also ate dinner carelessly while trying to lose weight. Although doctors mentioned genetic factors could play a role, her family history only included gastritis and stomach erosion – not cancer.
The blogger revealed stomach discomfort began six months before her official diagnosis. She initially dismissed the pain as ordinary stomach aches.
The pain became frequent and spread to her chest before she finally sought medical attention.
Surgical Complications and Prevention
Doctors originally planned a partial stomach removal. However, during surgery, they discovered tumors covering the entire organ, making complete removal necessary.

Medical experts recommend preventing stomach cancer through proper dietary habits. This includes avoiding high-salt and high-fat foods while increasing vegetable and fruit consumption.
Early signs of stomach cancer can be hard to spot, but may include ongoing indigestion or heartburn, feeling bloated or full quickly after eating, stomach discomfort or pain, mild nausea, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss.
Other symptoms can be tiredness, trouble swallowing, or black stools. These symptoms are often caused by other, less serious conditions, but if they last for more than a few weeks or get worse, afflicted individuals should see a doctor to find out the cause.
