The celebrity, who was a notable cast member of the reality show for three seasons, disclosed that post the medical consultation, it was revealed that she had numerous growths in her brain.
“The pain became unbearable yesterday, necessitating hospitalization,” Mellencamp posted on her Instagram on Wednesday. “Following a CT scan and MRI, doctors identified multiple growths on my brain, which they suspect have been developing for a minimum of half a year.”

She updated her followers that two of the growths would be surgically removed on the same day, February 12. The remaining growths, the smaller ones, will be addressed with radiation at a later time.
“I feel blessed to be surrounded by my kids, relatives, pals, medical team, nurses, and surgeons who are giving their all to improve my well-being,” she expressed. “Thanks to all those who have reached out and provided support throughout this journey.”
Prior to the operation, Mellencamp, who received a stage II melanoma diagnosis in 2022, chronicled her experiences leading up to the surgeries.
Accompanied by a picture of herself in the hospital bed, she penned, “The minutes are ticking till my little ones arrive.”
She also included a quote from her father, the renowned musician John Mellencamp, which said, “Just as my father mentioned this morning, God only provides tough challenges to those of us capable of handling them. It is a difficult day, but I have faith, exceptional surgeons, and believe everything will turn out fine.”
Mellencamp has three children with her ex-spouse Edwin Arroyave, from whom she parted ways in November.@teddimellencamp/Instagram
Arroyave stood by her side during the procedures and relayed an update on the reality star’s condition, sharing with her followers that the surgeries were successful.
“Numerous people have requested updates. All I can mention at present is that the surgery was successful. However, I have never seen @teddimellencamp in such anguish. Finally, she is getting some much-needed rest. I am aware that she appreciates the outpouring of love.”
It is not the first instance that Mellencamp has undergone surgeries. In fact, she disclosed on the podcast Him & Her in February that she underwent more than 20 surgeries due to her skin melanoma diagnosis.
We send our best wishes to Teddi Mellencamp for a prompt recovery.\
