Teddi Mellencamp Shares Shocking Photo Amid Brutal Battle with Stage 4 Cancer
On a Thursday morning, Teddi Mellencamp shared an attention-grabbing photo on her Instagram Stories, revealing her ongoing fight against stage four cancer.
The 43-year-old reality TV beauty had ice packs over her eyes that had a green cucumber design.
In simpler terms, the offspring of musician John Cougar Mellencamp shared an unsettling message indicating that she wasn’t feeling great.
After undergoing immunotherapy and radiation, Teddi started experiencing headaches. To perk herself up, she yearned for a cup of coffee from Starbucks.
‘Marisela come get me when time for our walk,’ she wrote.
* I could really use some comfortable clothes and dark sunglasses right now. The headaches after my immunotherapy and radiation sessions are quite intense. By the way, I’d love a drink from Starbucks, something sweet and savory.
Teddi played the song I Swear by All-4-One.
The former model has been battling stage 4 melanoma for three years.
At the beginning of February, medical professionals found that her cancer had progressed to affect both her lungs and brain. As a result, she required an immediate brain operation and was planned for radiation treatment and immunotherapy sessions.
Recently, a series of scans discovered five extra growths, specifically three in her brain and two in her lungs. Subsequent MRI scan on March 26 uncovered an additional four tiny tumors in her brain.
She said: ‘I’m fighting for my life, but also for my family’s life and all the people I love.’
Teddi is talking about the fact that she’s sharing her diagnosis with her trio of kids – her twelve-year-old daughter Slate, her five-year-old daughter Dove, and her ten-year-old son Cruz.
She has admitted: ‘I’m not equipped to fully handle this.
‘It assists as it prompts me with questions, uncovering answers I likely wouldn’t have considered on my own.’
After it was disclosed that Mellencamp’s ex-castmate from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Garcelle Beauvais, hasn’t contacted her yet amidst Mellencamp’s ongoing fight against stage 4 cancer.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I was once part of the captivating cast during season 10 of the renowned Bravo reality series. In this instance, I shared the spotlight with none other than Garcelle, who was then 58 years young. Contrary to popular belief, our relationship never blossomed into a profound friendship – and at one juncture, she playfully referred to me as an inconsequential annoyance, likening me to a bothersome gnat with no discernible reason for my persistent presence.
Later on, Teddi expressed her feelings by posting a cartoon picture on Instagram where her face was replaced with a gnat’s, captioned: “Tonight, I can rest peacefully on my cozy mattress, content with myself and true to who I am.
She has now told UsWeekly: ‘Garcelle has not reached out.’
Teddi has openly expressed her dismay towards certain past colleagues who haven’t extended support, particularly her friend and ex-colleague Dorit Kemsley, aged 48, for not getting in touch during Teddi’s battle with cancer.
During a 20th of March episode on her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, she commented, “I haven’t heard from Dorit at all. Dorit used to be one of my closest friends!
Later on, it was shared by UsWeekly that after receiving motivation from their common friend Erika Jayne, Doria reportedly contacted Teddi.
She stated: “Dorit is reaching out to you at the moment. Since I’m close friends with Erika, she asked if it was possible for Dorit to contact you now. I responded that I’m not entirely sure about my readiness to forgive, but I agreed.
Teddi added Dorit’s message was ‘so nice’ that they would ‘probably be fine’.
In addition, she mentioned that Denise Richards, who is now 53 and hasn’t been a friend since 2020, reached out to her. This unexpected contact was quite surprising for her.
And Teddi praised her close friend Kyle Richards, 55, for offering continuous support.
She mentioned that Kyle has been continuously present. Remarkably, she was the one who arranged for me to get admitted to the hospital for urgent brain surgery, thus saving the day.
