Mellencamp, 43, has a new lease on life, one that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Erika Jayne has taken notice of. \u201cI think I changed as a human being,\u201d Mellencamp said about her life amid cancer on the Friday, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI started doing therapy, and it\u2019s taken its toll on me,\u201d Mellencamp told podcast cohost Tamra Judge<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019ve learned that there are certain things, like it\u2019s hard for me to touch and move. I can see that I\u2019m slower than I was before, and that\u2019s really frustrating to me. I want to be back to the way I was.\u201d<\/p>\nAt the start of 2025, Mellencamp was \u201cfighting for my life.\u201d Now that scans have confirmed that the cancer is gone, the former <\/i>Bravo star said she is finally able to process everything she went through.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that the storm has calmed a little, now I\u2019m processing,\u201d she explained. \u201cNow I\u2019m starting to develop fear where I didn\u2019t have fear before.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Judge, 58, asked her close friend what scares her the most, Mellencamp replied, \u201cThat the cancer is going to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t even taken any Ubers by myself,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t feel super self-sufficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Teddi](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/teddi-mellencamp-cancer-update2.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
