Global News
The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum shared the news with her followers on Instagram, saying it was 'one update I couldn’t wait to share.'
Teddi Mellencamp, daughter of singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, shared an “exciting” update after learning her skin cancer had reached Stage 4 earlier this month.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, saying it was “one update I couldn’t wait to share.”
“All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course,” Mellencamp wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity.”
In the video Mellencamp shared, she said, “I just finished with all of my scans and my tumours have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work and that I will be back to myself and feeling good.”
The 43-year-old reality star said she has two more sessions of immunotherapy and then “hopefully I am done and I will be cancer-free.”
“I’m gonna keep a positive outlook because that’s the way that my doctor just spoke to me,” she added. “He’s like, ‘You did this. You got this.'”
Mellencamp’s update comes after the Two T’s in a Pod podcast host shared earlier this month that she was “fighting for my life.”
