Teddi Mellencamp has said she is finally seeing \u2018real change\u2019 in her hair growth following months of treatment for stage 4 cancer<\/p>\n
\nThe 43-year-old reality television personality and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member, who turns 44 on 1 July, revealed earlier this year that her melanoma had progressed to stage 4, having metastasised to both her brain and lungs and has since undergone surgery, radiation and immunotherapy as part of her treatment.<\/p>\n
\nShe has now told fans in an update on her condition on her Instagram account: \u201cIt\u2019s amazing what my body can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTeddi shared a set of before-and-after images on Instagram showing visible hair regrowth over a month-long period. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI noticed a real change in my hair regrowth,\u201d she wrote, adding: \u201cCancer comes with so many emotions: anger, sadness, loneliness. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd while I feel grateful that immunotherapy is saving my life, I feel like I live in a fog, and I can\u2019t help but beat myself up on all of the ways I am falling short. I just desperately want to be back to my usual self.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe update follows months of documentation of her health battle on social media, during which she has also addressed the physical side effects of her treatment. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cDuring radiation I lost big patches of hair; those spots aren\u2019t growing hair yet. This is what it looks like when the other hair grows out,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSo I shave these parts that grow every couple of weeks. I can\u2019t do it every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTeddi spoke further about her diagnosis during an episode of Two T\u2019s in a Pod, the podcast she co-hosts with fellow Real Housewives alum Tamra Judge, 56. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI had gotten pretty nervous because I started getting headaches again,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\nTeddi added: \u201cSo I was like, \u2018Oh, no, that was the sign of this happening in the first place. I hope it means that the tumors aren\u2019t getting bigger again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFollowing an MRI, she said her doctors delivered encouraging news, adding: \u201cThe tumors have not grown at all, if anything they\u2019re shrinking \u2026 but I am still stage 4 cancer.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s stage 4 until it\u2019s gone, until I\u2019m in remission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTeddi also said the plan is to remain on immunotherapy for two years, adding: \u201cHopefully by the end of that I\u2019ll be in remission.\u201d<\/p>\n
