Teddi Mellencamp has been upfront about her ongoing tumor treatment. Earlier this month, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumnus revealed that she has been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors.
"For the last several weeks, I've been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday, the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.

"Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today. The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date."
