Teddi Mellencamp was dealing with “debilitating headache” for months before her health turned for the worst – and she discovered that her melanoma cancer had spread to her brain.
The alun “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, 43, shared a new interview that she was transported urgently to the hospital in February because she started to have problems with her vision.
“That day, I couldn’t see,” she told ABC News on Friday. “I mean, I could barely descend the stairs.”
At the time, MellenoCamp revealed on social networks that doctors had found “multiple tumors” on his brain which “grew up for at least 6 months”.
The co-host “Two T’s in a pod” was diagnosed for the first time with stage 2 melanoma, a form of skin cancer in 2022.
Before worsening the state of Mellencamp, she underwent around 16 different surgeries to eliminate melanoma spots all over her body, according to her interview with ABC News.
“My back is, like roughly – it looks like a big Z,” said the star of reality during rest.
She was finally “cleared” from her last appointment on the skin. However, there were other problems.
After the doctors found “four tumors the size of a plum” on the brain of Mellencamp earlier this month, he was told that his melanoma had progressed to stage 4 and spread to his brain and lungs.
Meanwhile, Mellencamp relied on her family, including her husband Edwin Arroyave, and friends like the star of “Rhobh” Kyle Richards for support.
However, she recently admitted via Instagram that she sometimes feels “very alone” and that she sometimes forgets that she is allowed to “be sad” and to “cry”.
Her boyfriend Erika Jayne declared exclusively on page Six Thursday that Mellencamp’s friends remained “strong” for her, noting that the three -year -old mother is in the “fight of her life”.
MellenoCamp also told ABC News that the doctors told her that she had 50 to 50 chances of surviving, while recognizing that there was not yet much research on the treatment of immunotherapy she undergoes.
She said at the point of sale that she had learned not to “take anything for granted”.
“Normally, I used to run seven miles,” said the founder of Teddi. “Today, I barely walk one. But what do you know? I’m here and it makes me feel good. “
