Teddi Mellencamp reveals doctors gave her '50/50' odds of surviving cancer battle: 'I'm really scared'
Briefly

Teddi Mellencamp, the former star of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," shared her battle with stage 4 cancer on "Nightline." Doctors have provided her a 50/50 survival rate, explaining that this reflects the limited history of immunotherapy treatments. Diagnosed with melanoma in 2022, the illness has metastasized to her brain and lungs. The treatments have severely affected her active lifestyle, making her appreciate life’s moments more. Despite this difficult journey, Mellencamp emphasizes the importance of finding positivity and humor amidst her fears and challenges.
"I learned this isn't the best question to ask if you're doing immunotherapy, because immunotherapy has only been around 10 years."
"50/50? I wouldn't buy a car that's only gonna drive 50 percent of the time. I don't want this."
