Teddi Mellencamp Says Latest Scans Show No Detectable Cancer

Doctors plan another year of immunotherapy, with remission not yet declared.

Overview

  • Mellencamp shared the news on the Oct. 3 episode of Two T’s in a Pod during a conversation with guest co-host Dolores Catania.
  • She said she will continue immunotherapy for another year and that remission is typically assessed around the three-year mark.
  • Her doctors told her all tumors continued to shrink on recent scans, reinforcing the positive result.
  • Her melanoma advanced to stage 4 earlier this year with metastases to the brain and lungs, leading to brain surgery, radiation and ongoing immunotherapy.
  • She cautioned that treatment side effects persist and that she will still have days of feeling sick due to immunotherapy.
