Doctors advised the model to undergo a mastectomy with radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and a breast reconstruction.
Elle Macpherson has revealed that she refused to undergo chemotherapy for breast cancer despite the advice of 32 doctors.
Macpherson, who is the founder of wellness company WelleCo, was diagnosed with HER2-positive oestrogen-receptive intraductal carcinoma – a type of breast cancer – after undergoing a lumpectomy to remove cancerous tissues. Mr Wakefield, who was struck off the medical register in the UK and forbidden from practising in 2010.Macpherson admitted to praying and meditating on a beach in Miami as she opted to treat the condition with “an intuitive, heart-led holistic approach”.
During her time in Phoenix, she focused on “addressing emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer”.The model also revealed her family’s mixed reactions to her unorthodox treatment approach, saying that her eldest son Flynn, 26, “wasn’t comfortable” with her choice to forgo chemotherapy.
Cy, 21, her younger son, fully supported his mother’s decision because he believed chemotherapy was “a kiss of death”, she said. She now adheres to an elaborate wellness routine, including meditation, acupuncture, cold plunging, sound healing, a plant-based diet, tea ceremonies, sessions in an infrared sauna and taking a range of supplements and elixirs from her own wellness brand.
