TV presenter: Qiu Yuanyuan declined treatment while pregnant to avoid it harming her unborn baby A Chinese television presenter who refused chemotherapy treatment after discovering she had cancer when she was pregnant has died. Qiu Yuanyuan, 26, of Zhengzhou, Henan, who had declined treatment while pregnant to avoid it harming her unborn baby, died exactly 100 days after giving birth to her son, Niannian. The former chess game show host learned she was pregnant in March - but the results of a physical exam found she had a late-stage malignant tumour, according to reports in China. She decided to stop her treatment to protect her baby, but the cancer then spread around her body – and she was admitted to hospital in September when her conditioned worsened.
