Sarah Kuttner, who has breast cancer, plans a video diary of her chemotherapy

Presenter and author Sarah Kuttner, 47, who has breast cancer, plans to accompany her chemotherapy with a video diary. In an Instagram video, she said it was the last day before her chemo and that she was tense. She wants to keep a kind of diary as a vlog on her YouTube channel. She said she did not know whether she would follow through, noting that she also has ADHD and often plans things that do not happen. She wants to try to post regular updates for people who are also afraid of chemotherapy, because she herself found such videos helpful.

Kuttner also posted a photo of a brown wig in a box and another of scissors, combs and hair clips. She wrote that she would cut her new hairstyle herself, and said she would film this and put it online soon. Many followers wished her well, and some shared their own chemo experiences in the comments.

A week earlier, she said on her podcast "Das kleine Fernsehballett" that the chemotherapy is planned to last four and a half months. As a result, part of the podcast's stage tour in spring 2027 has to be cancelled. She said she wants to continue the podcast with journalist Stefan Niggemeier. She added that she expects to have no hair by Christmas Eve.

In mid-October she said on the podcast that the cancer is in her right breast and is three centimetres in size. She also cancelled planned readings from her novel "Mama & Sam". She had made the diagnosis public in a video at the end of September. (Source: dpa via Tagesspiegel)
