Fashion blogger Kyrzayda Rodriguez dies after battle with stomach cancer

A 40-YEAR-OLD fashion blogger has died after a year-long battle with stomach cancer.

Kyrzayda Rodriguez died on Sunday after announcing her Stage 4 stomach cancer diagnosis in November.

Rodriguez, who is survived by her adult daughter, was open about her treatment with her followers and regularly posted about her chemotherapy treatments and losing her hair.

“You were someone who inspired so many people across the world. Not only were you an icon, you were an amazing daughter, mother and friend,” a loved one wrote on Rodriguez’s Instagram account.

“Our hearts are broken to see you go. But we know you are no longer in pain and can now rest. Heaven has gained an Angel!” the post read.

Rodriguez frequently posted about how having cancer had taught her to appreciate the little things in life.

“Learn to embrace the little things in life like your sense to feel, see, and touch,” she wrote on Instagram. “We get so distracted by what we wear, we forget to love the skin. Spend a little more time each day loving every inch of YOU!”

She was also honest with her followers about her cancer treatment, explaining in August that she would be ending her chemotherapy.

“The chemo and radiation will be discontinued because it is not working the way I hoped it would,” Rodriguez wrote. “I have decided to stop these treatments so that I can enjoy the rest of my time with my friends and family and to be as pain-free as possible.”

Thousands of her fans have created a hashtag, #YouInspireUsKyrzayda, to share their tributes to the blogger.
