Real Housewife fought skin cancer for years before brain tumour suddenly appeared
People are urging her to 'stay strong'
Teddi Mellencamp is “ready for radiation” amid her brain tumour battle. She’s been dealing with some terrifying health news over the past few years. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed her melanoma diagnosis three years ago. Now, she’s dealing with multiple brain tumours. People are urging Teddi to “stay strong” as she undergoes more cancer treatment.

Kyle Richards sparked Teddi’s skin cancer diagnosis
In 2022, Teddi was diagnosed with skin cancer. Over the past three years, she’s had 16 melanomas removed.
Speaking on the Tamron Hall Show two years ago, Teddi explained how RHOBH’s Kyle Richards discovered a “black dot” on one of the many “little white spots” on her back.
Kyle asked her to go and get the dot checked out immediately.
But, with Teddi having ‘severe anxiety around going to doctors,” she initially didn’t want to get checked out.
After Kyle urged her, she explained: “…they knew right away that that one was melanoma.”
Teddi is ‘ready for radiation’ amid brain tumour battle
Amid her ongoing melanoma battle, Teddi has also been hit with more terrifying health news.
In mid-February, she shared via Instagram how after experiencing “severe headaches,” she opted for an MRI and CT scan after which doctors found multiple tumours on her brain.
Teddi had two of the tumours removed on the day she took to IG. She explained how the remaining, smaller tumours would be removed with radiation at a later date.
This March, she shares how she’s “ready for radiation” alongside a selfie.
Teddi wrote: “Staples out and ready for radiation.”
Many of her co-stars, Bravo-lebrities, and followers have taken to the comment to support her at this time.
Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shey writes: “That’s one beautiful strong mama right there!”
And, Tamra Judge comments: “I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I love you so much. Keep being your strong self!”
RHOA alum, Sheree Whitfield also writes: “Stay strong, beautiful.”
