Sarah Kuttner Begins Chemotherapy

Her treatment is scheduled to run about four and a half months and will be followed by surgery.

Overview

  • Kuttner began chemotherapy on Wednesday after posting photos showing a newly implanted chemo port and an infusion chair in the clinic.
  • An Onkotest result early this month narrowly crossed the threshold that led doctors to add chemotherapy to the previously planned hormone therapy and surgery.
  • She plans to document parts of the process with a YouTube video diary and has been open about uncertainty over how regularly she will post.
  • Kuttner has prepared for visible side effects by buying a dark‑brown wig, saying she may cut it herself or proactively shave her head to avoid seeing hair fall out.
  • The treatment schedule has forced her to cancel parts of a spring 2027 podcast tour and several readings while she intends to continue the podcast and use public updates to help others facing chemotherapy.
