Teddi Mellencamp Posts Promising Update On Difficult Skin Cancer Journey

On October 26, Teddi Mellencamp took to Instagram and revealed that she had surgery to remove the multiple melanomas from her shoulder. While her surgery went off without any issues, the reality TV star revealed that the future remained uncertain. "Lots of questions about updates," she wrote. "Here is the truth; there isn't one, which may be one of the hardest parts about this. The waiting." Mellencamp also informed fans that she planned to get "additional biopsies" and "full genetic mutation testing" for BRC following her surgery.

Since that fateful day, the ALL IN fitness trainer has remained mum on her diagnosis and post-surgery results ... until now. On December 7, Mellencamp returned to Instagram and announced that she was all clear of melanoma following the procedure, successful pathology report, and genetic mutation test. "So I say peace out to 11 melanomas and 3 lymph nodes— I gladly hardly knew ya— and hello to a new sense of peace."

In addition to her joyous announcement, Mellencamp reiterated the importance of getting tested before stating that she would be getting checked "every 4-6 weeks", as her doctor suggested. In response to her positive news, an array of her industry peers flocked to her comment section to congratulate her. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey wrote, "Good news" alongside a heart emoji. "Pretty Wild" star Alexis Haines echoed similar sentiments while also wishing her "a healthy 2023."
