Teddi Mellencamp, a former star of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' opened up about her stage 4 melanoma diagnosis and its emotional effects on her family. Diagnosed in October 2022, her condition has worsened with tumors spreading to her brain and lungs. In a heartfelt conversation, she expressed her fear for her young children Slate, Cruz, and Dove, particularly recalling missing Dove's birthday while hospitalized. Despite the challenges, Mellencamp remains determined to fight for her life and be present for her family.
"That is extremely frightening. My kids are young. I mean, I remember one day in the hospital, I was like, 'I feel like today might be Dove's birthday.'"
"In that moment, (Edwin) said exactly what I needed him to say. He's like, 'We'll throw another (birthday party).' But, like, my heart broke because I wondered, like, will she remember that I wasn't there?"
