Teddi Mellencamp has shared a positive update in her ongoing cancer journey, saying that all her tumors have “shrunk or disappeared.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum — who shared in February that her melanoma had spread to her lungs and brain — said that she had “really exciting news” in an Instagram post on April 23.
“Honestly, the crying is already done, but I just finished with all of my scans and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work and that I will be back to myself and feeling good,” Mellencamp, 43, shared.
She said that after her two remaining sessions of immunotherapy, “hopefully I am done and I will be cancer-free.”
“I’m going to keep a positive outlook because that’s the way my doctor just spoke to me. He’s like, ‘You did this, you got this,’ “ she said, adding in a gruff mimic of his voice: “‘You got that Mellencamp blood, so you’re good.’ “
The mom — who shares three children, Dove, 5, Cruz, 10, and Slate, 12, with her husband Edwin Arroyave, 37 — previously shared that doctors have given her a 50% chance of surviving. “I really like to have control, and this is completely out of my control.,” she said. “And for the first time, I’m really scared.”
However, as she wrote on the caption for her video: “All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.”
She ended on an upbeat note, saying, “Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity ❤️❤️❤️.”
