Reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp recently shared a hopeful health update with fans. The 43-year-old former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” posted a video message to Instagram announcing her brain and lung tumors have significantly shrunk following treatment.
Mellencamp, who was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma earlier this year, expressed optimism about her prognosis, stating that doctors believe she is on a path to recovery.
