Teddi shared that she had a stunned reaction to first hearing such news. As she mused, “50/50?! I wouldn’t buy a car that’s only going to drive 50 percent of the time.”
However, Teddi noted there’s a reason she’s given the “50/50” number, as the immunotherapy treatments have only been around for a few years. The star admitted that knowing this helps her to keep a positive outlook over the situation.

However, treatments don’t necessarily make things easy for the reality star, as they can still take a toll on her body. As she shared, “The hardest thing for me is I’ve always been a super active person. I cannot do the things I was used to doing.”
The situation has taught the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star not to “take anything for granted,” as well as develop goals for herself and her family. In addition, she admitted to the importance of looking “forward.”
As Teddi noted, “I’m here, and that makes me feel good. These are special times that we get to do any of this.”
