The model and actress made headlines recently after revealing her secret battle with breast cancer after being diagnosed seven years ago while undergoing a lumpectomy.

Macpherson said she was advised to undergo a mastectomy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and breast reconstruction surgery, but she decided not to treat the cancer with traditional medicine. Instead, she decided on “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” after praying and meditating on a beach in Miami.

“Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. But saying no to my own inner sense would have been even harder,” Macpherson wrote in her new memoir, Elle, per an excerpt published by Women’s Weekly.

“Sometimes an authentic choice from the heart makes no sense to others … but it doesn’t have to,” she added. “People thought
I was crazy but I knew I had to make
a choice that truly resonated with
me. To me, that meant addressing emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer. It was time for deep, inner reflection. And that took courage.”

During a Monday, September 9, interview on Australia’s Today show, Macpherson clarified that she did seek professional medical advice before forgoing chemotherapy.

She continued: “There was no clear path and there [were] no guarantees either way. So, I just made a decision based on all the information that I gathered and what felt right for me.”

“If you are thinking about using an alternative method instead of standard treatment, be sure to talk to your doctor first. It can be a challenge to find trustworthy information about the safety and effectiveness of alternative treatments. Also, some of these treatments can require a lot of time and money, and they may require travel away from your family and friends,” the American Cancer Society cautions on its website. “Choosing alternative treatment instead of mainstream cancer treatments might put you at serious risk. Delays or interruptions in standard treatment can give the cancer more time to grow. Even early stage cancers can become hard to treat successfully if proven treatment is delayed long enough.”
