However, while there’s no “trace of cancer” in her body, the reality show personality went on and explained that some things are still the same since she’s on immunotherapy. “There’s still no trace of cancer. But I’m still considered stage 4 and I’m still in immunotherapy, so essentially nothing’s changed,” added Teddi.And while Teddi shared she still doesn’t “feel great” physically, she said what’s taken the largest toll on her body over the last few months is emotionally processing the past year. “Like, from my divorce to all of a sudden being in emergency surgery,” she said, referring to her split from Edwin Arroyave, who is the father of her three children: Slate, 12, Cruz, 11, and Dove, five. “To you know, not being able to see my kids when I was recovering. I think all of those things are starting to finally hit me now,” she added. “I started doing therapy, and so it’s taken its toll on me.”As per The Independent, Teddi was diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. Her condition advanced to stage four in February 2025 and metastasized to her lungs and brain. She then underwent major brain surgery that removed four tumors. In October 2025, Teddi Mellencamp announced in her podcast that she had “no detectable cancer.”
