Supermodel Elle Macpherson says the controversial decision to treat her breast cancer diagnosis “holistically” led to the end of her marriage to billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. The Australia-born beauty, 60, made the bombshell claim in her new memoir, “Elle: Life, Lessons and Learning to Trust Yourself.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, were still married at the time that the model was diagnosed in 2017.
Macpherson refused chemotherapy from 32 doctors, revealing that her decision took a toll on her marriage. “My diagnosis of breast cancer, followed by my final choice of Dr C’s holistic approach to recovery… was not one that Jeff could trust or feel at ease about,” she candidly wrote.

Her body, her choice.
Your marriage ends because your husband thinks you should have treatment to save your life?
I swear these people are so self obsessed it’s incredible.
The statistical benefit of chemo, when the cancer is caught early, is an interesting subject.
Her cancer in particular can be a very aggressive one, and is targeted by the new class of drugs that started with herceptin.
Her decision is hers, what gets me is the idea a marriage would be over because your husband would prefer you have chemotherapy.
And what is the state of her health today I wonder?
Excerpt...
“There was no clear path and there was no guarantees either way,” she continued. “So, I just made a decision based on all the information that I gathered and what felt right for me.”
Macpherson is now in remission, and fighting fit. The model told the program she is “healthy” again and has been healthy “for a long time.”
Article says she’s in remission.
BS
There are a whole lot of other things that happen to end a relationship
Attention Wore
“My lovely wife! I don’t want you to die! Please accept the recommended medical treatment! I can’t stand the thought of losing you!”
“HA! If you feel that way, you’ve lost me! I’m out the door! And give me half your stuff!”
I don’t find this credible.
Not sure she needs his bucks since she's worth between 90 and 100 million all by herself.
Yes, in this case. However, if she decides to MURDER a child in her womb, it is no longer a singular choice of Her body. It then becomes a right of a living human being to exist.
I winessed side effects of chemo up and close iny family.
I wouid never agree to chemo if I get cancer.
What is “holistic”? Steve Jobs thought it meant eating cauliflower.
Maybe he doesn’t want to watch her kill herself over a few years with quackery. You become a billionaire by knowing when to cut your losses.
One of the comments said she had a partial lumpectomy with a 98% survival rate.
So not sure what to believe out of this story.
Forgiving people is always a good idea. Not sure if the things she lists ‘cured her’ but good for her dealing with her problems and growing as a person.
It is interesting the ‘my body my choice’ people were so quick to demand others get vaccines and wear masks etc.
In other news, Australia has plenty of hot women. Need to visit!
It’s the stay more than 10 years and get half. Have an acquaintance, man, who just went thru this. 10 years and she filed for divorce from him. She was just there for the money.
10 to 15 million. Not a bad payday.
“I winessed side effects of chemo up and close iny family.
I wouid never agree to chemo if I get cancer.”
Others have witnessed people die of untreated cancer and others have witnessed people get chemo and recover and live normal again when they had no hope.
Go through some pain for possible gain. Don’t be a quitter.
