On Wednesday in Berlin, television presenter and author Sarah Kuttner announced she will document her upcoming cancer treatment through a video diary on YouTube.
The 47-year-old broadcaster shared her plans on Instagram ahead of a four-and-a-half-month course of chemotherapy for breast cancer, tagesspiegel.de reported.
“Heute ist der letzte Tag vor meiner Chemo,” Kuttner said in her video post, describing her apprehension before beginning the regimen.
She plans to upload regular updates to help others facing similar fears, drawing on her own viewing habits when researching the diagnosis. Kuttner also posted images of a brown wig alongside styling tools, stating she intends to cut her hair herself on camera.
The rigorous medical schedule requires immediate changes to Kuttner’s professional commitments, including cancelling a portion of her upcoming podcast tour for spring 2027. She will continue recording her podcast alongside journalist Stefan Niggemeier.
Her diagnosis centers on a three-centimetre tumor discovered in her right breast during a routine examination in October.
She previously cancelled scheduled readings for her novel “Mama & Sam” following the initial diagnosis announcement in late September.
“Ich war gestern in der Frauenarztpraxis zur Krebsvorsorge – und um es mit den Worten meiner Frauenärztin zu sagen: Scheiße,” Kuttner told her audience when first revealing the test results.
