RHOBH Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Sad Cancer Update
Teddi Mellencamp has continued to make a name for herself even after being let go from RHOBH. She was on from Seasons 8 through 10 while still making guest appearances due to her close friendship with Kyle Richards. Additionally, she has a successful podcast, Two Ts In A Pod with RHOC star Tamra Judge, and her wellness business as an accountability coach. Finally, she is kept busy with her three children, Slate, Cruz, and Dove while making an appearance in Season 18 of RHOC. Teddi noted she had more fun filming with Tamra and fit in better with the OC women than Beverly Hills.
Unfortunately, in the midst of all that she is busy doing, Teddi still has to take time to focus on her health. She has long battled melanoma which she always gives her followers updates on. It is important to her that they are vigilant when it comes to their health and not let anything slide by. Now, she is back with another update and it is not as positive as the ones before. According to People, Teddi took to her Instagram stories to give all of the details. She started by saying she felt something just was not right:
“I have to listen to my body and something isn’t feeling right. I have felt a little something in my neck and in my back, so anxiety is pretty high, because I didn’t feel these things before.”
The forty-three-year-old went in for a checkup on Tuesday, July 16th. Teddi Mellencamp shared she had “2 more removed today. This is why follow-up appointments are just as important as getting that first check.”
Since these two were on Teddi’s back, she was able to show off her scar from her previous removal. This has been an ongoing problem for the last two years with fifteen removed so far.
Do Not Wait
Through all of this, Teddi Mellencamp has become a skincare health advocate. She does regret not going for skin checks earlier. In her mind, maybe she would not be where she is had she checked herself out sooner:
“I wish I wouldn’t have put off my original skin checks and maybe I would have been in a different place than I am today. But book your mammogram, book your ob-gyn appoints, book your skin checks. The list goes on and on.”
Teddi noted that doing these things now is far better than the alternative of waiting and she knows firsthand. She also is very big on being safe when outside because the sun can be your worst enemy. No one is immune from skin cancer and they should take skin health seriously. Hopefully, she will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
