Former reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp revealed that her skin cancer has reached Stage 4 after doctors found tumors on her lungs and brain that required surgical intervention this year.
Mellencamp, who once starred on Bravo's “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," told fans in February that she needed emergency brain surgery after scans uncovered multiple tumors. She later said that the melanoma she was diagnosed with in 2022 had metastasized and that two tumors were also found on her lungs.
In a new interview with Us Weekly published Wednesday, Mellencamp said she was getting radiation and immunotherapy treatment. Her medical team would "find out for sure exactly where we stand on June 1."
Two days after the interview, the magazine reported that four more tumors were found during an emergency scan and that Mellencamp's treatment would change.
Mellencamp said in her interview that she was looking forward to being able to "get back to normal."
