Elle Macpherson’s shocking cancer revelation: Why she rejected chemo and beat the odds…Read more

The treatment McPherson chose has raised questions among medical professionals.

Elle Macpherson, the iconic supermodel who once graced the world’s biggest runways, has made a shocking revelation: she was diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago but refused chemotherapy, even after 32 doctors strongly recommended it. Now, after a long battle, she’s finally in remission, crediting her unconventional, holistic approach to healing.

In her upcoming memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons, and Learning to Trust Yourself, Macpherson opens up about her journey from diagnosis to recovery. After undergoing a lumpectomy, the Aussie beauty was diagnosed with HER2-positive estrogen receptor intraductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer known for its aggressive nature.

Doctors advised her to undergo a mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, but Macpherson chose a different path. “It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing,” she said in an interview with Women’s Weekly. “But it gave me an opportunity to dig deep and find a solution that worked for me.”
