Former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp recently underwent surgery to address multiple brain tumors. Mellencamp shared the news on her Instagram account, revealing that she had been experiencing debilitating headaches for several weeks before seeking medical attention. A CT scan and MRI subsequently revealed the presence of multiple tumors, which doctors believe had been developing for at least six months.
Two of the tumors were surgically removed, with plans for radiation treatment to address the remaining smaller tumors at a later time. The specific type of tumors and the duration of her hospitalization remain undisclosed.
The 43-year-old reality star shared a video of herself shaving her head in preparation for the surgery, acknowledging that the look wasn't on her "bucket list." In her Instagram post, Mellencamp expressed gratitude for the support of her family, friends, medical team, and fans. She also shared a message from her father, musician John Mellencamp, offering words of encouragement and strength.
Mellencamp's representative has been contacted for further details.
