“Update from my scans today: I have 3 more tumors in my brain and 2 tumors on my lungs,” she penned. “These are all a direct result of my melanoma.”
Despite the setback, the blonde beauty said doctors are “hopeful” the “additional mutations” will be removed “via immunotherapy,” which took place March 11.
'Some days you feel like a wig, some days you don’t,' she penned under the side-by-side comparison photo.
“I am feeling positive and excited — that I will beat these tumors, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina’s [Jolie] kids names,” she quipped. “With all due… f--- off, cancer!”
Mellencamp additionally addressed fans who have been curious about her return to the “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast she co-hosts with Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge.
Teddi Mellencamp revealed she had a successful brain tumor surgery on February 26.
“I don’t actually know,” she confessed. “I would assume next week, but I’m listening to what the doctors and my bosses think is best for my brain. I think when you have four brain tumors and then you have to go through these different things, you have to protect yourself. But of course, I miss the pod. I miss chatting with [Tamra]. I miss Erika [Jayne]. I miss laughing. I miss watching all those ridiculous shows.”
Mellencamp noted she is “listening to her body” but “will be back” on the show when she can.
