Teddi Mellencamp is sharing updates on her health journey today. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum had previously revealed that “there is no detectable cancer” in her system on her podcast in early October, and is now revealing more about how she’s feeling.
Teddi took to her Instagram Story last weekend, where she held a Q&A session. It was here that she shared her own current struggles with immunotherapy, admitting that her energy levels go up and down all the time. (Earlier this year, Teddi revealed that she will undergo immunotherapy treatments for the next two years and has taken breaks in the past as she deals with the side effects.) “Some days are definitely better than others,” she wrote. “And you don’t see all the times I’m laying in bed unable to do much. Don’t be afraid to let people know how you’re feeling and don’t feel guilty if you need to rest.”
Her energy levels have also impacted her work schedule with her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, which she co-hosts with The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, Tamra Judge. “I am taking it week by week right now with how I am feeling,” she wrote. “Y’all know I love doing it, but I have to listen to my body.”
Teddi continued with this streak of honesty when she took to her Instagram Story on Nov. 11, where she filmed herself working out on her exercise bike. “I have been feeling terrible,” she admitted. “New goal is 20 mins a day.”

Teddi continued during the question and answer session, sharing advice to a spouse of someone with brain cancer. “I would say listen, especially on the worst days,” she stated. “We often feel like we don’t want to burden people but to have an outlet is so beneficial for our mental health,” she noted.

Teddi has also been surrounded by her loved ones, including her father, John Mellencamp, and her kids, during this time. She took to Instagram on Oct. 24, where she posted a photo of her dad surrounded by her daughters, Slate and Dove Arroyave, and opened up about John’s support.
“It’s been 10 months since my brain surgery and I am so grateful for [John Mellencamp] for continuously being there for me and my family the entire time,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Although apparently now that I’m no evidence of disease I can take photos without myself in it so I guess we’re all healing. Love you so much, Cougs. Thanks for everything.”
