Just weeks after emergency brain surgery to remove tumors, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp, 43, revealed a heartbreaking update: scans detected five new tumors—three in her brain and two in her lungs. Despite the news, she remains hopeful, stating, “Doctors believe immunotherapy and radiation can treat them.”
A Grueling Journey
In February, Teddi underwent surgery to remove four brain tumors after suffering “unbearable” headaches. She later shared graphic recovery photos and updates, emphasizing her gratitude for medical teams and loved ones.

Melanoma’s Relentless Spread
These tumors stem from her ongoing fight against stage II melanoma, diagnosed in 2022. Teddi has endured nearly 20 surgeries since, including a major shoulder excision and immunotherapy attempts. In December 2023, she celebrated a rare biopsy-free checkup, but the cancer’s spread to her brain and lungs marks a new challenge.
Staying Positive
Teddi’s resilience shines through. Days before her latest diagnosis, she posted a yoga video, captioning it, “First hot yoga since brain tumors.” She humorously added, “I like this wig—just not the bald spots,” and vowed to return to her podcast soon.
