Teddi Mellencamp Reveals Cancer Spread to Brain and Lungs

In early 2025, former Bravo star Teddi Mellencamp shared the devastating news that her melanoma had spread to her brain and lungs. Despite the difficult diagnosis, Mellencamp is staying positive and focusing on her treatment.

During this challenging time, Mellencamp has been touched by the outpouring of support and messages she has received from people sharing their own health struggles. She shared, “I would say a big thing has been all of the people messaging me saying, ‘I went and got checked because of you,’ or ‘My doctor only had me get this checked, and then I said, no, you should also do this.’

Mellencamp emphasized the importance of regular check-ups and screenings, especially in her case where skin cancer metastasized to her brain and lungs. She revealed, “What we have to remember is my cancer was skin cancer. The last time we spoke here was, like, I had skin cancer, melanoma, on my back. This metastasized, which is still a form of melanoma, but into my brain, into my lungs. I have, you know, before I had them removed, I had four plum-sized melanomas in my brain, and I hadn’t gotten a CAT scan. But I had gone and gotten my skin checked every three months.”

Despite the challenges ahead, Mellencamp is grateful for the support and encouragement she has received from her fans and the medical community. She is determined to fight her cancer with strength and positivity.
