Teddi Mellencamp, known for her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently took to Instagram to share a personal health update as she continues to fight brain cancer.
The 43-year-old reality star posted a selfie from her bed, sporting a buzzed brunette haircut, just weeks after undergoing emergency brain surgery.
A Tough Road Ahead
In her post, Teddi revealed to her 1.1 million followers that her staples had been removed and she was gearing up for radiation. This comes after a difficult period of health struggles.
In early February, Teddi experienced weeks of “severe and debilitating headaches,” which eventually led to the discovery of tumors in her brain.
In addition to the selfie, Teddi posted a video of herself taking a walk outside.
She tagged her lifestyle brand, All In by Teddi, and explained how her workouts were different these days.
Despite the challenges, she seemed determined to keep moving forward.
“It’s feeling pretty good,” she commented as she strolled, dressed in black sweatpants and white sneakers.
As she walked, she also took a moment to appreciate the Southern California weather, saying, “It’s pretty out.”
Grateful for Medical Team and Support
Earlier in the week, Teddi expressed deep gratitude for the medical professionals who helped her through her surgery.
She shared a heartfelt message, thanking the doctors, nurses, and surgeons who made her surgery a success.
She also revealed that the procedure had removed more tumors than initially expected—four in total.
“This fight is not over, but that round has been won,” she wrote, acknowledging the road ahead.
Her message also highlighted the invaluable support of her loved ones.
Teddi shared how the love and patience of her children, family, and friends had been a source of strength.
“Words cannot properly express my gratitude,” she wrote.
A Touching Show of Support from Friends
Teddi’s close friend, Kyle Richards, who has been vocal in her support throughout the ordeal, left an emotional comment under the post.
“Teddi, I will forever be grateful to RHOBH for bringing you into my life,” Kyle wrote.
“We will always have each other to lean on during life’s ups and downs.
You have SO much love around you to help you get through this. Love you Teddi Jo!”
Ongoing Health Struggles
Teddi’s brain tumor diagnosis comes as she continues to battle skin cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2022.
She has been open about her health struggles, sharing with fans how the pain from her headaches had become unbearable in early February, leading to hospitalization.
Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful and thankful for the support she has received.
“Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey,” she added in her post.
Teddi’s strength and determination are evident, and she continues to face each step of her treatment with courage.
