Elle Macpherson Reveals Cancer Treatment Impact on Marriage

Elle Macpherson revealed in her memoir that her decision to treat her breast cancer holistically led to the breakdown of her marriage to billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. Diagnosed in 2017 with HER2-positive estrogen-receptive intraductal carcinoma, she opted against chemotherapy, which she claims caused trust issues in her relationship. Macpherson stated, "This process was the straw that broke the camel’s back... our marriage was over and we both knew it." She also did not inform her family in Australia about her treatment plans, fearing their criticism. Despite facing backlash for her unconventional choices, Macpherson emphasized that she made her decision based on extensive consultations with multiple doctors. She is currently in remission and reflects on the emotional toll her decisions took on her personal life.
