Teddi Mellencamp shared an incredible health update with fans on Wednesday, amid her battle with stage four cancer.
The reality TV star, 43, revealed that her tumors have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free.
‘I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,’ she shared in a video posted to her Instagram.
Teddi — who previously revealed she was given a ‘fifty-fifty’ chance of survival — said that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, ‘and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.’
In February, multiple tumors were found on her brain and she underwent emergency surgery. Additional tumors were then discovered on her brain and lungs.
The incredible news comes after Teddi admitted she was ‘preparing her children for the worst.’ Earlier this month she also revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the family mausoleum.’

At the end of her video she shared: ‘I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that’s the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, “you did this. You got this.”‘
In her caption Teddi wrote: ‘One update I couldn’t wait to share! All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.’
‘Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity ❤️❤️❤️’
Her pals were thrilled in the comments, with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Kyle Richards writing, ‘BEST DAY EVER!!!!! So grateful❤️’
Teddi – who has also been candid about her battle with melanoma – appeared on ABC’s Nightline last week and said that doctors have given her a ‘fifty-fifty’ chance on survival as she still receives immunotherapy treatment.
During her interview, Mellencamp expressed: ‘One of my favorite things to ask is “How long I got?” or “What are my chances?” and they oftentimes say “fifty-fifty.”‘
‘Fifty-fifty? I wouldn’t buy a car that’s only gonna drive 50-percent chance of the time. I don’t want this,’ was her reply.
Mellencamp said that her doctors explained the reason for those odds were that immunotherapy had only been around for about a decade ‘and that’s how long the study has worked.’

And the star shared them with her fans so they know how to react in case they suffer from a similar problem.
Mellencamp had debilitating headaches for months, until one day her vision was severely impaired: ‘I couldn’t see. I mean, I could barely get down the stairs.’
