Teddy mellencamp has provided a new update on her continuous phase 4 brain cancer battle, revealing the hi toll Immunotherapy treatments taken on it.
The Real housewives from Beverly hills Alum, 44, explained on the episode on Wednesday, July 23, of her and Tamra judge “Two T in Pod” podcast That immunotherapy made her feel “ill” as she continued to tackle the disease.
“Basically, what we counted with me was, yes, I started to feel great, and I could do all the pods and I could do all these things, and I could go to all my daughter’s horse shows and I could stay in my house on my own, and I felt very strong,” explained Mellencamp.
He continued, “And what happens with me is the longest I am on immunotherapy, the sick it makes me.”
Mellencamp was diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. In February this year, she have had surgery To remove several brain tumors after suffering “severe and debilitating headaches.” In March, she updated fans through her Instagraminforming them that doctors found “three more tumors in my brain and 2 tumors on my lungs,” adding, “these are all a direct result of my melanoma.”
On Wednesday’s podcast, Mellencamp explained that, when consulting her doctors, she was going to delay the temporary immunotherapy treatments “because this immune therapy has struck me so incredibly hard.”
“So we’re going to take a little break on the immunotherapy to get my body back to feel stronger,” he said. “And I’m on steroids and we’re doing everything we can to get me back to feel like I’m, you know, I can do this, I can do all the things.”

“I don’t want to fill your boys’ feed with cancer, you know, as I know that that can be a depressing topic, but I also want (people to know that) if you go through something like this, things are going to change and that’s fine,” he continued. “The hardest thing for me is a kind of waking ‘wow call, I can’t do what I did yesterday,’ or ‘Wow, I can’t do what I did three weeks ago.’ “
Mellencamp also noted that her cancer diagnosis affected her family, including a strange husband Edwin Arroyave, and their children. (The pair, who announced their division in November 2024, are slate parents, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4; Mellencamp is also a stepmother to Arroyave’s eldest daughter, Isabella, 15.)
“He has changed the life of my children. He has changed my relationship with Edwin,” he said. “You all know we filed for divorce. Nothing has changed in that except we are in action because of what happens to me medically. But it has had to step in and help me because of some days I can’t.”
