RHOBH: Teddi Mellencamp Shares A Photo Update With Fans On Instagram As She Continues To Suffer From Melanoma!
The former RHOBH alum addressed her skin diagnosis last year with fans. Doctors diagnosed Teddi with stage 2 melanoma a year back. Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer and occurs when pigment-producing cells become cancerous. The effect can be seen with unusual growth and change in an existing mole. The reality-tv star has shared getting regular health checkups and following doctor’s advice. With this experience, she has constantly been advising her followers to take care of their skin and adapt to regular checkups.
In a recent Instagram post, Teddi spoke about her health update. She started by thanking her fans for all the love and support. Further, the health coach said that she visited her doctor for her monthly checkup, wherein the doctor found three new spots. Subsequently, the medical professional suggested getting the spots biopsied. Additionally, the Real Housewives star revealed that she has both white and brown melanomas. Hence, she keeps getting herself checked, no matter what. Further, Mellencamp addressed that she felt a bump on her neck, and her anxiety took over.
The RHOBH star admitted to touching the spot over 303 times, but on the day of the ultrasound, she assumed it to be nothing. However, the stars were not in her favor, and the ultrasound results came irregular. Teddi had the option of a needle biopsy or getting it removed completely. The doctor recommended her an immediate biopsy, although there remains a chance for it to come back. Mellencamp confessed to being a controlled person and expressed her helplessness in dealing with a situation that was completely out of her control.
