“Watching a loved one suffer is horrific,” Justice Mellencamp wrote on her Instagram Stories Feb. 17, per Page Six.

In her Feb. 12 announcement, Teddi Mellencamp said she was “dealing with severe and debilitating headaches” for several weeks before taking her symptoms to the hospital.
“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months,” the RHOBH star wrote on Instagram.
Two of those tumors were removed later that day, while the remaining tumors “will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” per her post.
Teddi Mellencamp has been vocal about her battle with skin cancer and has claimed to have had 17 spots of melanoma removed over the course of her life. It’s unclear if the melanoma and tumors are related.
