Teddi Mellencamp Says She Cries ‘Half The Time’ About Cancer Battle

“I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that’s the way my doctor just spoke to me,” she added. “He’s like, ‘you did this, you got this’ and, of course, in a complete Coug’s way, he said, ‘you’ve got that Mellencamp blood, so you’re good.’”

As OK! shared, Mellencamp was rushed to the hospital on February 11. “For the last several weeks, I’ve been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches,” she shared on Instagram at the time. “Yesterday, the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.”

Mellencamp received a CT scan and MRI in which “multiple tumors” were found on her brain that doctors deemed had been “growing for at least six months.”

She revealed two of the tumors were going to be removed via surgery immediately, while the others would be dealt with via radiation.
