Teddi Mellencamp 'doing great' amid cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp is 'doing great' and all of her 'tumours are continuing to shrink' amid her stage four cancer diagnosis. The 43-year-old 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star shared another positive health update after confirming last month via social media that her tumours had either shrunk or disappeared since starting her cancer treatment.' She told PEOPLE: 'I'm actually doing great. I had immunotherapy two days ago and they did another round of scans and they said all my tumours are continuing to shrink, so I'm feeling good and I'm happy. 'This the last round of the intense immunotherapy and then I'll be doing immunotherapy for the next two years, every four weeks, but it's like half the dosage that I'm currently on, so then I think it's just going to get easier and easier on me.' Asked recently whether immunotherapy was controlling or curing her cancer, Teddi replied: "It's both. Speaking on the 'Two Ts In a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge', she explained: "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. "I was a little bit worried about having to live on immunotherapy because you know how I am when I get super emotional on certain days. But I think that the fact that this is all moving in a smooth path forward is really good news."

Teddi Mellencamp's best friend 'in tears' as she shares major update on cancer treatment
Teddi Mellencamp is opening up about her Stage 4 cancer battle with a positive update on her immunotheraphy treatments. The 43-year-old reality star and 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 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.' 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.

Teddi Mellencamp receives 'really good' news amid cancer fight
Teddi Mellencamp's body is responding well to immunotherapy. The 43-year-old TV star recently revealed via social media that her tumours had either shrunk or disappeared since starting her cancer treatment, and Teddi has now delivered another positive update, confirming that her immunotherapy treatment appears to be working. During her latest appearance on 'Two Ts In a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge', she shared: "Last time, they had checked solely my brain, and those tumours are shrinking. And then, today I had the scan, where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it." Despite this, Teddi will have to continue with immunotherapy - which uses a patient's own immune system to fight cancer - for the next two years. She said: "So every four weeks for the next two years, I have to come in and get that done. And then every three months I get another scan and we check to make sure that everything is where it is." Asked whether immunotherapy was controlling or curing her cancer, Teddi replied: "It's 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. "I was a little bit worried about having to live on immunotherapy because you know how I am when I get super emotional on certain days. But I think that the fact that this is all moving in a smooth path forward is really good news." Teddi recently revealed that her tumours had either "shrunk or disappeared". The reality TV star took to social media to explain that she was "on course" to make a recovery, amid her ongoing cancer battle. Teddi wrote on Instagram: "One update I couldn't wait to share! "All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course. "Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity [heart emojis] (sic)"
