Teddi Mellencamp shared on social media she was hospitalized and will undergo surgery to remove several tumors on her brain.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum posted a statement on Instagram detailing how she ended up in the hospital.
“For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe debilitating headaches,” Mellencamp said. “Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.”
She continued, “After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.”
The reality TV personality said that two of the tumors would “be surgically removed today,” while “the remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date.”
