Teddi Mellencamp Goes Horseback Riding Amid Cancer Battle

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum shared a life update involving her extracurricular activity that is helping her get through the gloomy days of dealing with more tumors after her last tumor removal surgery.

Teddi Mellencamp went in for a medical procedure last month to eliminate multiple tumors discovered in her brain. The star has also been dealing with a skin cancer diagnosis since 2022.

The Bravo star paid homage to her horse on her Instagram story, calling him every good name in the books and bragging about their excellent bond. “My baby boy would do anything for me. I would do the same for him,” the reality TV star wrote on her story.

She further described him as the “horse of a lifetime,” adding, “Toad, thank you for making me feel alive.” Teddi looked chic on her horseback in a full fit of neutrals and brown knee-high boots. She paired her fit with a matching dark brown helmet.

She followed the story post with another slide featuring two badges from participating in a horseback riding competition. Teddi wrote:

“Dear brain tumors. You tried to break my heart. You failed. I love life 2 much to waste more teaks on you. Thank you, @izambrano12 and ®peterlombardo69 for giving me the confidence and support to go back in the show ring today. Embassy Row and Speechless made my month.”

She sympathized with her beloved horse for losing and assured it of getting “back in the rotation next week.”

As shared by The Blast, reality TV star Teddi shared an update about her health in a recent Instagram post. The star revealed that scans have shown the presence of multiple tumors in her brain that could not be surgically removed. 

Accompanied by a photo of herself smiling in a blonde wig, she also disclosed that there are two tumors in her lung, all of which are metastases of her melanoma. 

Despite the challenging news, Teddi remains optimistic, expressing hope that immunotherapy will effectively treat her condition.

“I am feeling positive— that I will win this battle, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina’s [Jolie’s] kids’ names,” the star declared.

She concluded her caption by mimicking a line from Andy Cohen, “Now as @bravoandy would say: with all due… f-ck off, cancer!”

The American TV personality’s latest update comes after she informed her followers and fans about her first successful brain tumor surgery on February 26.

She uploaded a picture of herself on the hospital bed with the pictorial result of her brain scan. Teddi began by expressing her gratitude towards the surgeons, doctors, and nurses who supported her throughout the procedure. 

In her emotional post, she revealed that four tumors were removed, which was more than initially anticipated. While acknowledging that her fight is not over, she celebrated this significant victory, stating, “This fight is not over, but that round has been won.”

Teddi expressed deep appreciation for the love and support from her children, family, and friends, highlighting how their laughter and patience have been invaluable to her.

She concluded by extending her thanks to everyone for their prayers and encouragement, which are helping her stay strong as she prepares for the next steps in her treatment.

Before Teddi’s surgery update, The Blast noted that Justice shared a poignant update about the procedure on her Instagram Story. 

Accompanying a black-and-white photo of herself watching over Teddi as she slept in the hospital, Justice expressed her deep emotions during this difficult time. She referred to Teddi as the “strongest person” she knows and conveyed the pain of watching a loved one suffer.

Additionally, Justice acknowledged the support from friends and family, stating that while she has been trying to respond to everyone who has reached out, Teddi would share her journey when she feels ready. 

With a mix of gratitude and emotions, as she traveled home, Justice emphasized the strength of their support network and thanked everyone for their prayers.

“She is by far the strongest person I know. So many emotions as I travel home today but her village is the best one I’ve ever seen and I’m grateful for them! Your prayers are everything. Thank you,” she wrote.

On February 12, Teddi, the Bravolebrity, announced on Instagram that she would be undergoing surgery to remove tumors from her brain. She has been candid about her health challenges, sharing that she had been suffering from severe headaches for several weeks. 

After experiencing unbearable pain that led to hospitalization, she shared that doctors conducted a CT scan and MRI, which revealed multiple tumors believed to have been growing for at least six months.

The mother-of-three explained that she would undergo surgery to remove two of the tumors, while smaller tumors would be treated with radiation later. 

Teddi expressed gratitude for the support of her family, friends, and medical team, saying she feels blessed to have them by her side during this difficult time. “Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey,” the “RHOBH” alum concluded.

Sending well wishes to Teddi Mellencamp as she continues her recovery process!
