LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tragedy has befallen 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Teddi Mellencamp as she recently shared a heartbreaking update about being diagnosed with melanoma again.
The Bravo star took to her Instagram to break the bad news, sharing a teary-eyed selfie with the emotional caption.
She wrote, "I have been debating whether I should even publicly talk about this or not but then I remember how every time I post about skin cancer someone else is reminded to get checked."
She further added, "I found out late yesterday afternoon that the most recent spot biopsied is another melanoma. I can’t even remember if this is the 12th or 13th one."
"At this point, I am starting to black-out these memories like a portion of my childhood. I slept maybe 2 hours last night because my mind was racing," she added.
Mellencamp went on to state, "I am so grateful for my 3-month checkup because we caught this one early. This means another surgery next week and additional biopsies. As I lay here with tears in my eyes and worry, I know my kids will be up soon. I have a podcast at 10. Life goes on."
"I am also reminded of my faith and the reminder I keep telling myself, “We can do hard things." We have so many beautiful things to look forward to, so if you woke up today feeling lost or scared, I encourage you to make a list of some of the things you are truly grateful for and what you are most excited about," she further wrote.
"I am posting this to hold myself accountable to doing the same. Off to get my notepad and 🖊️. We have got this. Love to you all. We are not alone💕," the Bravo celebrity further added.
Mellencamp had previously disclosed her brush with a cancer in March 2022 when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma.
