Teddi Mellencamp has some WONDERFUL news!
As we’ve been reporting, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been in the midst of a melanoma battle. After an unsuccessful immunotherapy treatment, the 42-year-old opted to get surgery — and it was intense! At the time, she described it as “they cut out the area of my shoulder and replaced it with a flap of skin from below on my back”. Which, at the time, she also pointed out was extremely painful, as you can imagine, though she added:
“But the pain and discomfort are all worth it.”
And that came to fruition on Friday when she revealed on Instagram that the operation was a success! While showing a photo of her healed scars, she wrote:
“I got the final report back from my oncologist. ‘Final report is all good. Some atypical areas, but no melanoma. We’ll have to keep a close watch on you, but all good now. I’ll want to see you in about 3 months. Sooner if you have any concerns.'”
AH-Mazing news!!

Reminding her followers to remember to get their own skin checkups, she said:
“I am forever grateful to my incredible doctors, nurses, family and friends. I absolutely will be diligent with my 3 month checkups. Please be the same with your skin checks. And, yes, I had to google what atypical meant. Don’t know why doctors have to use such big words
“
