RHOBH’s Teddi Mellencamp Alarming Advice To Women About Health As Her Doctors Missed Melanoma Spreading 

Teddi Mellencamp, former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, received a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in February 2025.

In an interview with Glamour, Teddi shared her ongoing battle with cancer. She asked women to be cautious about their health. According to her experience, routine checkups may not be sufficient to detect serious illnesses. Teddi urged all the women and her fans to be more aware of their bodies and health.

RHOBH’s Teddi Mellencamp Issues Health Warning To Women After Missed Melanoma Diagnosis

In early 2025, Mellencamp had been diagnosed with eight tumors, four of which were the size of a plum. She was shocked, as she had never thought about it. “I was like, ‘I go to a doctor every three months, Why wouldn’t they get me checked?,” she added. She said her fans have raised concerns about her health during these difficult times.

Later, when she followed up on it with her doctors, they said they hadn’t done the scan because she had nothing above stage one. “But look what happened,” she added. The decision not to conduct full-body scans eventually delayed the detection of life-threatening tumours. Ultimately, Teddi had to undergo brain surgery, followed by radiation and immunotherapy. 

As Mellencamp recovers, she actively commits to raising awareness and serving as a vocal advocate.“Trust your instincts,” she said. “If something feels off, don’t wait. Demand answers. It could save your life.” She speaks from her experience to emphasize the importance of not assuming routine checks are enough. Teddi requests that her followers, especially women, prioritise their health above all else. 

Mellencamp has urged women not to wait too long and to take immediate action if anything feels absurd. “There’s a difference between self-diagnosing and advocating for your own health,” she said while asking women to seek answers for their better health.
