Teddi Mellencamp steps out after giving fans another shock update on her cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp was seen for the first time after giving the latest shock update on her stage 4 cancer battle.
The 43-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star enjoyed a walk in Los Angeles on Thursday morning after sharing a positive update regarding her immunotherapy treatments.
The daughter of singer John Cougar Mellencamp was diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma skin cancer in 2022, which was upgraded to Stage 4 earlier this year after suffering from numerous brain tumors.
She seemed in good spirits on her latest outing after revealing that some of her brain tumors have shrunk to the point where they could barely be seen.
Teddi looked ready for an active day out as she sported a clinging blue spaghetti strap top with orange leggings.
She also walked on the grass rocking a pair of Nike Air Presto sneakers during the solo workout session.
The Bravolebrity showcased her natural looks by going make-up free as she also decided to go wig-free by showing off her buzzed head.
Meanwhile, the reality star revealed in late April that the brain tumors have significantly shrunk and she's potentially just a few weeks away from being cancer-free.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star offered another update on her Two T's In a Pod podcast with Tamra Judge, where she called in from her actual immunotherapy appointment.
'Today I had the scan and where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it,' she said.
Her co-host Judge commented on her Instagram post that linked to their podcast, revealing she, 'can't stop crying tears of joy,' adding, 'I love you so much.'
Mellencamp added, 'So it's really really good news. I'm definitely so relieved. I'm also a little bit like, if I sound a little weird, it's because I'm in the middle of them in a therapy treatment right now. But what they said was this is good news. That means my body is responding to everything. But I do need to live on immunotherapy for the next two years.'
'So every four weeks for the next two years, I have to come in and get that done. So and then every three months I get another scan and we check to make sure that everything is where it is,' she added.
Teddi admitted she was a bit confused, adding, 'I thought that, like, once the tumors start going away, I'm like, so, does that mean I'm cancer free? And he's like no.'

'He's like you, we will let you know when you're in remission. But at this point, everything's just heading the correct way,' she added.
When Tamra asked if the immunotherapy was 'curing' the cancer or 'controlling' it, Mellencamp said, 'both.'
'It's making sure that it's getting smaller and then let's say that it gets so small that it disappears. It's making sure that it won't form anywhere else in my body,' she said.
She added, 'The reason they were able to do this treatment on me, because remember radiation didn't work and the tumors were getting bigger, and like I was only able to get certain surgeries is because over at Cedars Clinic.
'There is everything in one spot. So because of that, they can do multiple treatments and figure out what works for you individually. So I think what ends up happening to a lot of people,' Teddi said.
Teddi said that was one reason she is, 'so grateful that I live in California,' adding, 'they go to you know, they have to go to all these different doctors at different locations, where mine is kind of like a one stop shop.'
The update comes just a month after she said doctors gave her a 50/50 chance to survive her cancer.
'I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, "you did this. You got this."'
Toward the end, she added that her doctor had jokingly reassured her, 'You got that Mellencamp blood, so you're good.'
Teddi, who previously said she felt she was on her 'deathbed', was pictured smiling in the video, as she told her fans the positive news, admitting that the happy 'crying' was already done.

Travis Hunter forks out $3.3m on lavish Jacksonville mansion after being drafted by Jaguars
New Jaguars star Travis Hunter has found his home in Jacksonville after spending $3.3million on a breathtaking 13-room mansion ahead of his rookie year. Hunter, who was s elected by the Jags with the second overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, forked out the seven-figure sum on his new property almost two months since he officially entered the big leagues. The lavish 8,125-square-foot, two-story pad is located in the gated Deerwood Country Club and contains five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a four-car garage. It spans an incredible 7.5 acres and also includes an outdoor swimming pool, pickleball court, home gym, billiards table and theater room. Two black gates are positioned at the entrance of the property, which is 10 miles from the Jaguars' EverBank Stadium and 11 from their practice facility, while a huge patio outside Hunter's home includes palm trees, neatly-kept bushes and an elegant water fountain in the center of a circular lawn. The front door is surrounded by four white pillars, before guests can walk through to find a stunning living room dominated by white, beige and brown-themed furniture. Travis' kitchen features smart marble-topped islands and white cupboards, while the luxury bathrooms are predominantly white with numerous mirrors stretched across its walls. The back lawn at Hunter's new pad is also a massive one, meaning he will be able to complete passing drills in the comfort of his own home. Angela Stringfellow, the listing agent who sold him the house, told the Jacksonville Daily Record that the Jaguars rookie toured 16 properties in the city with his wife, Leanna, and brother, Trayvis, the weekend after the draft. And his favorite of the lot was No. 16. 'It was really special,' Stringfellow said. 'He took the time to appreciate the home and the family that lived there.' Hunter is also said to have taken a look at the wildlife in the area, including deers and owls, before paying a Deerwood Country Club record $3.275m for it, she added. He completed the deal on May 30 through a limited liability company. The 22-year-old and his new wife, who got married last month in a glamorous Tennessee ceremony, registered the limited liability company with the state on May 9. They are both managers and owners of the LLC. His contract with the Jaguars is believed to be worth close to $47m over four years, with a $30.6m signing bonus and fifth-year option. Hunter can also unwind in his own home theater when relaxing after football practice The NFL rookie can also bulk up his strength without leaving the home in his very own gym His outdoor pool offers the perfect chance for him to kick back and relax in the Florida sun Not long after securing his move to the NFL, Travis tied the knot with Leanna just over a year since the couple got engaged. They first met while at Collins Hill High School together in Suwanee, Georgia, and dated throughout Hunter's three-year college career with both Jackson State and then Colorado. The high-school sweethearts got married at The Barn at Faith Farms - a luxury wedding venue nestled between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the 'full experience package' is listed online as $6,000. Leanna celebrated her big day by wearing two stunning custom-made dresses by New York designer Justin Alexander, including a figure-hugging gown and matching veil appliqued with dozens of delicately crafted roses. The groom also surprised his new wife with a generous wedding present after buying her a luxury six-figure black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800.
