Cancer is a complex disease, and treatment is not always linear. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp has been sharing snippets of her battle with Stage 4 cancer with honesty and even humor whenever possible.
Teddi was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2022. Earlier in 2025, she revealed the cancer was Stage 4 and that it had spread to her brain and lungs. To address this, she has undergone surgeries, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. It has been wearing her down physically, though.

Last July, Teddi shared that her body needed a break from treatment as it was making her almost as sick as the disease. However, the break could only last for so long, and Teddi is back on immunotherapy, which she shared on her social media.
Teddi revealed how she’s been navigating her treatment on her Instagram stories. She is currently undergoing immunotherapy again to treat tumors in her brain and lungs. In her stories, Teddi showed her followers a glimpse of how the treatments go.
In the photo she shared, Teddi is sitting in a chair while looking at the camera with the caption “Immunotherapy Day.” She looked peaceful despite any discomfort she might be feeling.
She has also been very honest about how the immunotherapy has been impacting her mental health. In an Instagram video she said that she gets “severe anxiety” that pops up on a random basis.
“Like today, I was able to walk, I did the podcast, and now I’m sitting here full of anxiety,” she explained on social media. She even mentioned she was just post-immunotherapy in a podcast with Erika Jayne and noted how the two of them were quite emotional.
Teddi asked her followers who have gone through a similar experience if they have any advice on how to feel better. “Is this common?” she asked. “What are things you guys have done to make you feel better? Let me know. Looking for any positive advice.”
Followers rose to the occasion and sent her different tips, from medications to breathing and meditation exercises she can try. Here’s hoping it works to help ease the impact of the treatment.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills streams on Peacock. Viewers in the U.K. and Ireland can watch it on Hayu.
