Teddi Mellencamp, the star of RHOBH or The Real Housewives, showed strength and style with a matching buzz cut with her brother. She is battling with Stage 4 melanoma and undergoing treatment to shrink her tumors in both the brain and lungs. In February, she was diagnosed with some large and small tumors.
Despite undergoing brain surgery, Teddi is not stopping herself from going public. She is recovering, which has put her and Edwin’s divorce on hold. He stayed with her when the doctor asked her to get the brain surgery done asap. Her health deteriorated due to tumors, causing debilitating headaches. She revealed that two big tumors were removed, and the rest needed radiation. How does she look now? What is she up to?
RHOBH: Teddi Gives An Update About Immunotherapy!
On April 23, Teddi Mellencamp took to Instagram to reveal that all the metastasized melanoma had either disappeared or shrunk. Discussing her condition further, she added that when the doctors last checked the scan results of her brain, they found out that the tumors were barely visible. The Two Ts In a Pod host admitted that immunotherapy is working for her.
Teddi’s body is taking immunotherapy nicely, but she has to take it continuously for the next two years. She goes to the hospital four times a week and checks her brain once every three months. Immunotherapy is a medical way to use one’s own immune system to become cancer-free. It kills the cancer cells so that they can’t multiply, helping boost the immune system. She is happy that everything is going smoothly for now.
RHOBH: Teddi Smiles In New Selfie With Brother Hudson!
Teddi Mellencamp has made sure her cancer doesn’t affect her ability to smile. That’s why she smiled widely in a selfie taken with her brother Hudson. The sister-and-brother duo appeared as lookalikes due to their similar buzz cuts. They wore aviator sunglasses while Teddi clicked the photo.
For the sweet image, Teddi wrote a poking caption. She noted that Hudson lost to her in a game of apology, but said she loves him. She adores him since he supports her, but he fell asleep momentarily after he came to see her. The Bravo star hasn’t shaved off her hair entirely; she kept some hairless patches.
The bald patches occurred after the radiation pulled off the hair from those sections. Sadly, the hair couldn’t regrow. “So I shave these parts, which grow every couple of weeks. I can’t do it every day,” she explained. She won’t shave the whole head. She is grateful that, most days, she feels better.
Teddi’s melanoma showed early signs in 2022, but in 2025, the cancer had spread from the brain to the lungs. She is hoping to make a comeback to the podcast as well as the reality TV show. Her kids and her estranged husband Edwin are with her all day. They are a family, even though divorce is on the horizon for the former flames. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates.
