Singer/songwriter John Mellencamp shared a health update for Teddi Mellencamp, as she continues to fight stage 4 cancer.
The 74-year-old musician appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and briefly opened up about his daughter, who used to star on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Status update:
The Jack and Diane singer shared that Teddi is “really sick.”
Watching Teddi’s journey is “not f*cking fun,” explained John.
“She’s got cancer in the brain, and she’s suffering right now.”
Teddi’s October update:
Last fall, Teddi told her that her Two T’s in a Pod listeners that stage 4 cancer was “gone.”
“Just to give a little life update to you guys, I had my immunotherapy yesterday. I did my scans and at this point there is no detectable cancer. When they told me, I was in such shock. I was like, numb.”
“I’m still going to be having days when I’m feeling sick and stuff because I still am in immunotherapy, so I’m still fighting because you have to be.”
Teddi said at the time that she will continue immunotherapy for a year, adding, “I’m not considered in remission or anything like that.”
She explained further: “The way the [doctors] said it works, it’s like one year, then two years, then at three years you’re allowed to be considered … in remission. So, but that was huge news yesterday.”

Teddi previously shared that doctors have given her a “50/50” chance of survival for her struggle with cancer, which began in 2022 with stage 2 melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — on her back.
She has since undergone 17 surgeries for the invasive skin cancer.
But in April 2025, Teddi shared that her cancer had metastasized to her brain and lungs. She’s undergone immunotherapy, radiation, and surgery to treat the tumors.
