When someone is diagnosed with cancer, many assume chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery is next\u2014but that isn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n
Seven years ago, supermodel Elle Macpherson<\/strong> was diagnosed with HER2-positive estrogen receptor intraductal carcinoma<\/strong>. Her doctor recommended chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, a mastectomy, and reconstruction, but she ultimately chose a holistic approach<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n Macpherson shared her journey in The Australian Women\u2019s Weekly<\/strong> and her book Elle<\/em>, in a chapter titled \u201cDon\u2019t Sweat the Small Stuff.\u201d<\/em> She described her diagnosis as shocking and daunting, and emphasized the importance of finding a solution that resonated with her personally. She met with 32 doctors<\/strong> before making her choice, focusing on both emotional and physical healing.<\/p>\n Her sons and ex-partner supported her, though not always agreeing with her methods. Macpherson spent eight months in Phoenix, Arizona<\/strong>, dedicating herself fully to her health under medical supervision.<\/p>\n Today, she reports being in \u201cutter wellness<\/strong>,\u201d clinically in remission, and thriving without having followed the standard treatments she was advised.<\/p>\n
