Sarah Kuttner Completes First Chemotherapy Session and Will Shave Her Head

Her open video diary aims to demystify chemotherapy for people who fear the treatment.

Overview

  • Kuttner completed her first chemotherapy session on Wednesday and said she felt "super normal" in the hours after treatment.
  • She plans to shave her head before visible hair loss begins, saying hair loss is nearly certain and may start about 12 days into treatment.
  • Kuttner has obtained a prescription wig, the 'Perla' model by Ellen Wille, which she says she will trim herself to match her look.
  • Her medical plan calls for roughly four and a half months of chemotherapy followed by surgery, and she has canceled book readings and the first part of her live tour.
  • She is posting regular vlogs and Instagram updates to guide followers through practical steps and emotional effects, a choice that has drawn wide public support and highlights that wigs can be supplied on medical prescription in Germany.
