“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp shared a positive update following her first immunotherapy session.
During the March 13 episode of her podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” Mellencamp noted that she underwent emergency surgery on February 12 after doctors discovered she had several brain tumors. After four of the tumors were surgically removed, Mellencamp was told she was going to need to start immunotherapy and radiation for the remaining tumors in her brain and lungs.
Mellencamp said she had done her first session of immunotherapy the day before she was recording the podcast episode.
“I went and had my immunotherapy yesterday, which I feel absolutely terrible today. Like I have the worst headache,” said Mellencamp.
Mellencamp said, however, that a nurse informed her that it was a good sign she did not feel well after receiving immunotherapy.
“But what I learned, which I’m so grateful for one of my nurses, she told me, ‘The fact that you’re in pain right now, is huge. It’s great. Because it means it’s attacking the cancer,'” said Mellencamp during the podcast episode.
She also said she is “feeling really positive” about her situation.
“I feel like right now, I’m starting to see the light. And I’m starting to think about the future,” said Mellencamp.
