Taiwanese Celebrity Gu Jie Battles Stage 4 Cancer, Treatment Slows Movements

Taiwanese celebrity Gu Jie, known as the "Plastic Surgery Queen," is facing a difficult battle with stage 4 colorectal cancer. The 58-year-old's cancer has metastasized to her liver and lungs, and she recently began a new round of chemotherapy and targeted therapy.

“

My movements are like a sloth's now, very, very slow.

Gu Jie shared that the treatment has significantly impacted her physical condition, likening her current slow movements to those of a sloth. She recounted instances of arriving over an hour late for appointments, a stark contrast to her previously punctual nature. Her eating habits have also changed drastically; she now needs an hour and a half to finish a meal, eating slowly to avoid discomfort.

“

My thoughts can't keep up with my speed, and I really want to be on time. I used to be very punctual.

Despite these challenges, Gu Jie expressed deep gratitude for her friends who have been incredibly understanding of her frequent lateness due to treatment. She feels cherished by their support, noting that they often start eating without her. While acknowledging that she cannot please everyone, Gu Jie finds strength in the love and care she receives from her close circle.

I often think, how can I, Gu Jie, be so loved by so many people?
