Teddi Mellencamp’s doctors discovered more tumors in her body after she underwent emergency brain surgery last month.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star shared a health update on her social media as she announced that doctors had detected additional tumors.
“Update from my scans today: I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery,” she posted on Instagram. “I also have 2 tumors in my lung. These are all metastases of my melanoma.”
Mellencamp added that doctors are “hopeful that immunotherapy and radiation will effectively treat them.”
“I am feeling positive that I will win this battle, that I got this wig…and that I can remember all of Angelina’s kids’ names,” she wrote, referring to Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie and her six kids she shares with Brad Pitt.
Mellencamp, 43, concluded her post with “f*** off, cancer!”
The reality star shared on her Instagram Stories that she is expected to begin her immunotherapy treatment on Tuesday.
The daughter of John Mellencamp had been suffering from “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks before her hospitalization on Feb. 11.

The mom-of-three posted a mirror selfie with a visible bandage on her ear and showed the scars on her back.
“Up to 60% of patients with advanced melanoma develop brain metastases during the course of their disease and the presence of brain metastases significantly worsens a patient’s prognosis,” according to the National Institute of Health.
Meanwhile, her estranged husband shared a health update after she underwent brain tumor surgery in February.
“All I will say right now is surgery went well. That said, l’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some needed rest. I know she is so grateful for the outpouring of love,” Edwin Arroyave wrote on Instagram.
