TV housewife Teddi Mellencamp is no longer at death’s door, but she’s still undergoing cancer treatment.

“I had my immunotherapy yesterday and I did my scans and at this point there is no detectable cancer,” the 44-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed during her podcast Two T’s in a Pod. “When they told me, I was in such shock. I was like numb.”

The miraculous health news comes months after Teddi revealed doctors had given her a 50-50 chance of surviving the cancer battle she’s been waging since 2022.

Teddi endured 16 surgeries for melanoma skin cancer before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year.

In February, doctors found four golf ball–sized tumors on her brain, forcing emergency surgery. Just three weeks later came the discovery of five more tumors in her brain and lungs.

At the time, oncologist Dr. Jerome Spunberg, who has not treated Teddi, stated the stunning blonde may have less than a year to live.

“More times than not, more tumors pop up even as doctors treat the existing ones,” he noted. “The cure rate is unfortunately very low.”

But with the joyous news that she has no detectable cancer, Teddi’s future is much brighter, although her health struggles aren’t over yet.

“I’m still going to be having days when I’m feeling sick and stuff because I still am in immunotherapy, so I’m still fighting because you have to be,” says the mother of three. She’ll continue immunotherapy for a year, adding, “I’m not considered in remission or anything like that. I still have a compromised immune system. So I have to still be careful.”

She notes: “The way the [doctors] said it works, it’s like one year, then two years, then at three years you’re allowed to be considered … in remission.”
