Teddi Mellencamp, a well-known figure from the "Real Housewives" franchise, recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors. The 43-year-old podcast host and television personality shared the news on her social media, stating that she had been experiencing severe and debilitating headaches in recent weeks. These headaches became so intense that she required hospitalization.
Following a CT scan and an MRI, doctors discovered multiple tumors on Mellencamp's brain. These tumors are believed to have been growing for at least six months. Two of the tumors will be surgically removed, while smaller ones will be treated with radiation at a later date.
Mellencamp is no stranger to sharing her personal life with the public. She has previously spoken openly about her divorce from Edwin Arroyave, as well as her medical history, which includes melanoma and IVF treatment. She and Arroyave have three children together, and Mellencamp also has a stepdaughter, Isabella Arroyave.
Mellencamp's announcement has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities. Many have expressed their well wishes and offered prayers for her recovery.
