All you need to do is look at Teddi Mellencamp’s past if you don’t think she’s tough.
The 44-year-old daughter of music icon John Mellencamp and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been chronicling her battle with her followers as she fights stage 4 melanoma that has spread to her brain and lungs.
Additionally, she has recently experienced some success as immunotherapy therapies have reduced the size of her brain tumors to the point that some are now hardly noticeable. However, Mellencamp recently gave a worrying update, informing listeners on her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge, that she is temporarily stopping her immunotherapy treatments.
In essence, I haven’t been well for roughly a month, which surprised me a little. I believe that my mental health has suffered greatly, she remarked.
Mellencamp claimed that she was having trouble speaking clearly and that she was having trouble keeping her eyes open.
That is concerning once more, but the good news is that the immunotherapy appears to have worked so well that doctors are willing to give her some time off.
“To get my body feeling stronger, we’re going to take a little break on the immunotherapy,” she added.
Earlier this year, Mellencamp disclosed her diagnosis.
In 2023, she was initially diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma on her shoulder, which was surgically removed.
Mellencamp has three children: a son, Cruz (10), and two girls, Dove (5) and Slate (12).
