Elle Macpherson defends her choice to treat breast ca ncer holistically rather than with chemotherapy
The 60-year-old supermodel stated, “There was no clear path and there [were] no guarantees either way.”
Elle Macpherson is standing by her choice to receive holistic cancer treatment. The 60-year-old supermodel addressed the criticism
she has received since disclosing that she was given a breast cancer diagnosis seven years ago and defied medical advice by recovering without treatment or medication on September 9th, when she appeared on Australia’s Today show.
She informed the publication, “Just to be clear, I sought a lot of medical advice.” “Every doctor has a different opinion on how to treat my particular case of breast cancer, so it was very interesting.”
She went on, “There was no guarantee either way, and there was no clear path.” Thus, I simply decided something based on.
Macpherson expressed her “great satisfaction” that her choice has generated discussion, as it may result in increased consciousness and development. It’s crucial to note that I’m not offering guidance to other individuals.
She stated, “I’m sharing my experience,” on the program. In an interview with Australian Women’s Weekly on September 2, Macpherson first discussed her choice, stating that receiving her diagnosis was “daunting” and that it had come as a “shock.”
According to the outlet, the supermodel revealed that she was informed by a doctor who phoned her following a lumpectomy that the cancer was HER2 positive estrogen receptive intraductal carcinoma.
Macpherson was then recommended to have chemotherapy and a mastectomy as part of his cancer treatment.
