Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Stage 4 Melanoma Spread, Faces Health Battle

Teddi Mellencamp, former star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealed in a recent interview that she has been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors following months of severe headaches and vision loss. The alarming symptoms prompted her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, to rush her to the hospital, where she learned she had four 'plumb-sized' tumors and subsequently underwent surgery. Initially diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma in 2022, her cancer progressed to stage 4 as it spread to her brain and lungs. Following her surgery, she completed radiation therapy and is now undergoing immunotherapy, despite facing a challenging prognosis with a 50-50 chance of survival. Throughout her journey, Teddi has shared her experiences on social media and expressed feelings of loneliness, but also finds strength in humor and support from family and friends. Her battle with cancer has not only highlighted her resilience but also brought attention to the importance of recognizing warning signs in health.
