Teddi Mellencamp, a former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and the daughter of musician John Mellencamp, has shared some distressing news regarding her health. In a recent Instagram update, the 43-year-old revealed that scans have shown multiple tumors in her brain that were unable to be removed through surgery, as well as tumors in her lung. These tumors are all related to her melanoma diagnosis from 2022.
Despite the challenging prognosis, Mellencamp remains optimistic about her treatment, mentioning that doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will be effective. She expressed her determination to overcome this health battle, humorously noting her wig preference and ability to recall all of Angelina Jolie’s children’s names. Quoting Andy Cohen, a Bravo host and producer, she defiantly stated, “with all due … f*** off, cancer.”
Earlier this year, Mellencamp had undergone surgery to remove some of the tumors in her brain after experiencing severe headaches. She later updated her followers that more tumors than anticipated had been successfully removed, marking a small victory in her ongoing fight against the disease.
Fans and friends flooded her latest post with messages of support and encouragement. Her “Real Housewives” co-stars, including Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne, expressed their love and well wishes, with fellow reality TV personality Alexia Echevarria praising Mellencamp’s resilience and strength.
Despite the challenges ahead, Teddi Mellencamp continues to approach her health crisis with determination and a positive attitude, supported by a network of caring friends and fans.
