Teddi Mellencamp Says Immunotherapy Is Making Her 'Sicker' Amid Cancer Battle
"And I feel like even my friends that are nurses or doctors were like, what the heck's going on with Teddi?" Mellencamp mentioned on her podcast. Teddi Mellencamp is sharing some news on her ongoing stage four brain cancer battle and how immunotherapy is adding to her struggle. The 44-year-old shared an update on her battle with cancer on a July 23 episode of her Two T's in a Pod podcast. "Essentially, I haven't been feeling good for about a month, which was kind of shocking to me and I think mentally did a lot to me," Mellencamp shared. "I was like, what do you mean? I felt so good after the surgeries." Mellencamp was first diagnosed with stage two melanoma in 2022 after she noticed an abnormal spot on her back. Since then, she's undergone multiple surgeries to remove the spots over the past two years. In February 2025, Mellencamp was diagnosed with multiple brain tumors that she had removed and in March 2025 shared she now had tumors in her lungs. Shortly after, the tumors in her brain returned, but she shared positive progress in April 2025. However, Mellencamp's struggles didn't stop there. Now, she shares her difficulty with her immunotherapy treatments. "When I was having radiation and immune therapy, I was feeling good so why am I not able to do this right now? Like, why do I feel like I can barely open my eyes or keep my words straight?" she questioned. "And I kind of learned why this week at the doctor's." "I'd been having some thyroid issues, so they put me on some medication for that," the reality star explained. "So I know that Matt and Eric said a little bit about something about immunotherapy, how it can affect your healthy cells and sometimes things change." She went on to share that at first she felt great post-treatments and had the energy to finally do every day tasks. "Essentially, what we figured out with me was, yes, I started out feeling great, and I could do all the pods and I could do all these things," she said. "I could go to all my daughter's horse shows and I could stay at my house by myself, and I felt really strong." And although Mellencamp understood that immunotherapy is helping with her cancer, she's just shied away from sharing how it's also been slowing her down. "What's happening with me is the longer that I'm on immunotherapy, the sicker it's making me." "So for some people, especially when they come from, you know, having brain tumors removed, radiation, immunotherapy, all of these things at once, that's when they feel their worst," she noted. "And I feel like even my friends that are nurses or doctors were like, what the heck's going on with Teddi?" As a result, she revealed that her doctors had helped her come to the decision to pause the treatments for now, "because this immune therapy has hit me so incredibly hard." The goal is to get her "body back feeling stronger," Mellencamp explained. "And I'm on steroids and we're doing everything that we can to get me back to feeling like I, you know, I can do this, I can do all the things."

Night 1 was dinner with Daniel Boulud, you, me & Guerdy. Captain Sandy's dinner? That was night 2, not 1.' She clarified that no cast member had control over dinner seating: 'You know NONE of us had any say over any dinner reservations.' Then came the sharp jab: 'I see why your castmates call you Flip-Flopping Fessler. Loyal one day, shady the next. Sorry you flew all the way to Miami only to be edited out of last night's episode!'

Teddi Mellencamp marks 44th birthday with good spirits and laughter
Teddi Mellencamp marked her 44th birthday with good spirits and laughter. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who marked the milestone on Tuesday (01.07.25) has been candid about her ongoing battle with stage 4 melanoma, which she first revealed in 2023 after multiple surgeries to remove melanomas from her back. She has now told fans in an update on her battle on Instagram: 'I accidentally keep telling people I am turning 34 instead of turning 44. Maybe it's the steroids. Maybe it's wishful thinking. You decide.' Teddi also posted a selfie showing her sleek blond bob and cleavage-bearing dress before heading out with friends to celebrate early. In February this year, she shared the devastating news that her melanoma had metastasized to her lungs and brain. Despite the serious diagnosis, she remains hopeful, telling fans in April: 'All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared.' Teddi's hair, which had been lost during treatment, is now growing back — a development she described as a 'real change' that 'made me smile.' On her birthday celebration on 30 June, Teddi was surrounded by friends, including Tamra Judge, her cohost on the podcast Two T's in a Pod. The festivities included a horse-themed cake, a nod to Teddi's lifelong love of riding and the passion shared by her daughter, Slate, 12. She is also mother to Cruz, 10, and Dove, five, with her husband Edwin Arroyave. In the birthday post, Teddi also revealed a new addition to her collection of trendy collectibles, sating online: 'I GOT MY FIRST LABUBU.' She was referring to the monster dolls currently fetching high resale prices, and added: 'And don't you worry, I got cute little outfits coming its way.' Her 44th birthday posts drew warm responses from fellow Bravo stars, with Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga commenting: 'Sooo gooodddd.' Real Housewives of Atlanta's Cynthia Bailey wrote, 'Happy Birthday!' while Real Housewives of Dallas's Kameron Westcott praised the cake: 'Happy happy Birthday!! The cake!! So cute!!'

Teddi Mellencamp finally seeing ‘real change' in her hair growth following months of cancer treatment
Teddi Mellencamp has said she is finally seeing 'real change' in her hair growth following months of treatment for stage 4 cancer. The 43-year-old reality television personality and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member, who turns 44 on 1 July, revealed earlier this year that her melanoma had progressed to stage 4, having metastasised to both her brain and lungs and has since undergone surgery, radiation and immunotherapy as part of her treatment. She has now told fans in an update on her condition on her Instagram account: 'It's amazing what my body can do.' Teddi shared a set of before-and-after images on Instagram showing visible hair regrowth over a month-long period. 'I noticed a real change in my hair regrowth,' she wrote, adding: 'Cancer comes with so many emotions: anger, sadness, loneliness. 'And while I feel grateful that immunotherapy is saving my life, I feel like I live in a fog, and I can't help but beat myself up on all of the ways I am falling short. I just desperately want to be back to my usual self.' The update follows months of documentation of her health battle on social media, during which she has also addressed the physical side effects of her treatment. 'During radiation I lost big patches of hair; those spots aren't growing hair yet. This is what it looks like when the other hair grows out,' she wrote. 'So I shave these parts that grow every couple of weeks. I can't do it every day.' Teddi spoke further about her diagnosis during an episode of Two T's in a Pod, the podcast she co-hosts with fellow Real Housewives alum Tamra Judge, 56. 'I had gotten pretty nervous because I started getting headaches again,' she said. Teddi added: 'So I was like, 'Oh, no, that was the sign of this happening in the first place. I hope it means that the tumors aren't getting bigger again.'' Following an MRI, she said her doctors delivered encouraging news, adding: 'The tumors have not grown at all, if anything they're shrinking … but I am still stage 4 cancer. 'It's stage 4 until it's gone, until I'm in remission.' Teddi also said the plan is to remain on immunotherapy for two years, adding: 'Hopefully by the end of that I'll be in remission.'
