On December 27, Teddi Mellencamp took to Instagram with an update on her struggle with melanoma. In the post, Mellencamp attached a picture of herself in a hospital bed, alongside a caption detailing the medical procedure. “Surgery went well! I specifically went through a ‘wide excision melanoma, soft tissue defect reconstruction with adjacent tissues rearrangement,'” she wrote in the post. Writing further, Mellencamp explained that the skin on her shoulder was cut out and replaced with skin from her back. In spite of the pain, Mellencamp admitted the surgery was “worth it.” Unsurprisingly, the reality star also took the chance to remind fans yet again of the need to constantly check for skin cancer.
