Teddi Mellencamp posted a vulnerable video revealing what her cancer recovery looks like.
“This is what recovery looks like. One day, I’m hopping around doing a million things, and then the next day, I am shaking so bad I can barely get up the stairs. My anxiety is a 10,” she tearfully shared on her Instagram Stories Wednesday.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum noted that she had to use both hands to hold her phone and record the video because her hands are “so shaky.”
“They added in a new medication on Monday and I guess it’s just hitting me really weird,” she explained.
“Tam, you’re gonna have a lot to work with today,” Mellencamp quipped, referring to her “Two Ts In A Pod” co-host, Tamra Judge. “Godspeed.”
The former Bravo star subsequently posted a screenshot listing the common side effects of her medication, which includes weight gain, headache, dizziness, common cold symptoms and akathisia (an inner sense of restlessness).
“Wow. This is a blast,” she sarcastically wrote atop the screengrab.
Her last health update came in April, when she bravely showcased her brain surgery scars and shared her hair growth following several rounds of radiation therapy.
“The hair is too long for the wigs and I’m sick of the wigs. But like, what are we supposed to do here?” she asked her social media followers, looking for new tips on hairstyles.
Mellencamp announced her Stage 2 melanoma diagnosis in October 2022.

She underwent more than a dozen surgeries to address the disease, including an emergency procedure in 2025 to remove several tumors in her brain.
Last October, she revealed her cancer — which had also spread to her lungs — was “gone.” However, she previously explained that it will take some time before doctors declare that she’s officially in remission.
Since receiving the positive update on her physical health, Mellencamp has been focused on recovering emotionally and mentally as well.
“I’ve been in therapy,” she told Page Six in February. “I’ve been working really hard trying to figure out, find that peace, find that happiness, find that joy, find myself again.”
The reality star — who shares three kids with estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave — also revealed in April that she is in a new relationship with an “older man.”
Though she didn’t divulge too many details on the mystery suitor, she did gush that he makes her laugh a lot on an episode of her podcast “Two Ts In A Pod.”
