Teddi Mellencamp is making progress in her fight against cancer.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared a video on Instagram where she rang the “good luck bell” to celebrate her last day of radiation.
She held up her “graduation papers” and read a short poem to mark the occasion.
“Ring this bell three times well… my treatment’s done, the course is run, and I am on my way,” she said in the emotional clip.
Teddi, 43, told her followers she still has five more rounds of immunotherapy to go, and thanked everyone for their kind messages.
Her cancer journey began in 2022 when she was diagnosed with skin cancer. Since then, she’s had over 15 surgeries.
In February, while going through a breakup with her husband Edwin Arroyave, Teddi shared more tough news — doctors found brain tumors.
Later, they also found more in her brain and lungs. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Despite the seriousness of it, Teddi is staying hopeful.
“It’s scary,” she admitted on Instagram. “But I truly believe with my whole heart that I will beat this and watch my kids graduate.”
She also shared that she no longer tells her children, “moms always come back,” because she doesn’t want to give them false hope.
Teddi is mom to three kids — Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5 — and stepmom to Isabella, 16, Edwin’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Edwin has paused their divorce to support her through treatment and surgery.
