Famed model Elle Macpherson shared in an interview that she has been living with a breast cancer diagnosis for seven years without undergoing chemotherapy, opting for a holistic approach instead. Despite the shock of the diagnosis, Macpherson chose to listen to her inner sense and address emotional as well as physical factors associated with the disease. Her decision was met with disagreement from her sons, with one fearing chemotherapy and the other favoring more conventional treatment. Macpherson’s medical team includes a naturopathy practitioner, holistic dentist, osteopath, chiropractor, and therapists. She considers herself to be in “utter wellness” and emphasizes the importance of emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being in addition to physical health. Macpherson’s decision to eschew traditional medical solutions was difficult but she believes it was the right choice for her. Overall, she feels supported by her children and is grateful for her approach to dealing with the disease, even if it is nontraditional.
