Teddi Mellencamp has shared a positive update amid her intense battle with cancer.
The TV personality revealed that she is “actually doing well” and that she was “doing well” when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2025.
She opened up to People on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet about how she’s taking care of her mental health during a major health crisis.
“You know, I’m kind of riding the wave,” Teddi said, “I’m actually doing well. I had immunotherapy two weeks ago, and the next one in two weeks, so I’m doing well.”
During the ceremony, Teddi also presented her father John Mellencamp with the iHeartRadio Music Icon Award.
This update came after Teddi suffered a medical emergency earlier this month after a drug caused Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a painful and life-threatening skin condition that causes blisters on the skin.
“I thought I had the flu. And then one day I woke up and my whole body was covered in this horrible rash. You can’t even tell it’s a rash because it almost looks like sores all over my body,” Teddi revealed on her podcast Two T’s in a Pod.
For those unfamiliar, Teddi was first diagnosed with skin cancer, stage 2 melanoma, in 2022 and underwent 17 surgeries. Later in 2025, her cancer spread to the lungs and brain.
