Overview

  • The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum said a skin exam found the spot, which was excised and sent to the lab.
  • She noted the new mark was on her stomach, unlike her earlier melanomas that were on her back.
  • Mellencamp said she had gone about six months without that particular dermatology check.
  • She said catching it quickly eased her stress and emphasized seeing specialists for different types of care.
  • The 44-year-old has stage 4 melanoma with brain and lung metastases, underwent brain surgeries in February, and has completed radiation with immunotherapy in her treatment course.
