On December 27, Teddi Mellencamp took to Instagram with an update on her struggle with melanoma. In the post, Mellencamp attached a picture of herself in a hospital bed, alongside a caption detailing the medical procedure. “Surgery went well! I specifically went through a ‘wide excision melanoma, soft tissue defect reconstruction with adjacent tissues rearrangement,'” she wrote in the post. Writing further, Mellencamp explained that the skin on her shoulder was cut out and replaced with skin from her back. In spite of the pain, Mellencamp admitted the surgery was “worth it.” Unsurprisingly, the reality star also took the chance to remind fans yet again of the need to constantly check for skin cancer.
The recent update comes in the wake of her husband, Edwin Arroyave’s public show of support amid her health struggles. In an Instagram post shared ahead of Mellencamp’s surgery, Arroyave included a loved-up black and white picture of himself and the reality star, alongside a heartwarming caption. “As Teddi goes in for the biggest surgery in her melanoma journey today, I just wanted to share how her absolute strength through it all has been nothing short of incredible,” he gushed. “I know this battle is close to being won, and I cannot wait to see how she continues to impact every person around her.”
