Health update revealed by Teddi Mellencamp following a medical emergency
Teddi Mellencamp Takes a Break from Immunotherapy Treatment
Teddi Mellencamp, a 44-year-old American TV personality, has temporarily paused her immunotherapy treatment for stage 4 melanoma, a type of skin cancer that has spread to her brain and lungs.
Mellencamp, who is a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealed the details of her cancer journey on the July 23 episode of her podcast Two Ts in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge. She has been undergoing treatment since early 2025, following surgery for brain tumors in February of the same year.
However, the side effects of the immunotherapy have been taking a toll on Mellencamp's health. She has been struggling with keeping her words straight and opening her eyes, and her doctors have recommended a break to help her regain strength. Mellencamp is currently on steroids and receiving supportive care to help her feel better.
Mellencamp has been open about the emotional and difficult nature of her health journey, and she continues to update her fans and followers on her progress. In the past month, she has not been feeling well, and her cancer treatment has impacted her relationship with her children, Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5.
Despite the challenges, Mellencamp has never felt unable to fulfill her parental responsibilities until recently. However, her current health condition has made it difficult for her to resume her parenting duties to the extent she would like. The inability to fulfill her parental responsibilities due to cancer is heartbreaking for Mellencamp.
Mellencamp's divorce from her husband, Edwin Arroyave, is still ongoing, but the process will not be resumed until she completes her treatment. Recently, some of Mellencamp's tumors were barely visible in the scans, indicating that the treatment is working and her tumors are shrinking.
Mellencamp's updates on her health journey come from her own disclosures on her podcast and interviews in July 2025. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope for the best during this difficult time.
