Elle Macpherson recently revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer in 2017 after undergoing a lumpectomy – while non-invasive, such precancerous cells have the potential to become aggressive if left untreated. Now, the Australian supermodel is releasing her eponymous memoir, Elle, plus an audiobook version made in collaboration with her boyfriend, Doyle Bramhall II.

Macpherson recently told Australian Women’s Weekly in an exclusive interview that after her doctor suggested a mastectomy with radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and breast reconstruction, she made the difficult decision not to undergo chemo. Instead, she says, she pursued “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach”.

Now 60, the model said about her current health status: “In traditional terms, they’d say I’m in clinical remission, but I would say I’m in utter wellness. And I am!”
