Teddi Mellencamp has shared a serious health update after recent brain surgery.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 43, revealed that doctors have found five new tumors—three in her brain and two in her lungs. The discovery came just weeks after she underwent emergency surgery to remove several brain tumors.
Mellencamp has been fighting melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, since 2022. She confirmed that the new tumors are a direct result of the melanoma spreading. In recent years, she has undergone numerous procedures to remove cancerous spots and closely monitor her condition.
Doctors plan to begin immunotherapy and radiation immediately. While some of the brain tumors could not be removed through surgery, her medical team remains hopeful that the new treatments will be effective.
Despite the difficult news, Mellencamp says she feels optimistic and ready to fight. She has thanked her doctors, family, and friends for their support. Fellow reality television personalities have also shared public messages of encouragement.
Throughout her journey, Mellencamp has urged others to schedule routine health screenings. She encourages regular skin checks and other preventive exams, reminding people that early detection can make a critical difference.
