Teddi Mellencamp Rings Bell to Mark End of Radiation Treatment After Revealing Her Cancer Is Stage 4

• Teddi Mellencamp has marked the end of her radiation treatment with a video on Instagram of herself ringing a bell in the hospital
• The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is also due to undergo five rounds of immunotherapy after her melanoma metastasized to her brain and lungs
• Mellencamp confirmed her cancer is now stage 4 on April 2

Teddi Mellencamp has marked a milestone in her cancer treatment.

After confirming that her cancer is now stage 4, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, posted a video on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, April 3, revealing that she has finished her radiation treatment. 

In the clip, Mellencamp can be seen holding some papers and reading out a plaque underneath a gold bell in a hospital before ringing it several times. 

“I’ve got my graduation papers,” Mellencamp told the camera before turning her attention to the words written on the plaque. “The good luck bell. Ring this bell three times well, it’s told to clearly say my treatment’s done, the course is run, andI am on my way.” 

“Three times,” Mellencamp added as she started ringing the bell. “Oh no, did I mess it  up? I did four."

"No you did it perfect," someone from behind the camera can be heard telling her as others in the background clap and cheer.

“Woo!” Mellencamp said with a smile. "We made it guys."

‘Congratulations,” someone off-camera can be heard saying.

"Ringing the bell can signify a major phase of treatment — Today was my last day of radiation. 5 more rounds of immunotherapy to go. Love you all for the kind messages," Mellencamp captioned the video.

The podcaster went on to share that she thought she had "already beaten” her cancer but doctors found four more tumors.

Mellencamp’s cancer reached stage 4 after her melanoma, which she was first diagnosed with in 2022, metastasized to her brain and lungs. 

“I woke up to so many kind messages,” she said. “I just want to say thank you guys so much. So many messages about how strong I am. And I gotta tell you, some days I feel really really strong and some days I feel really really sad and alone. And I think that’s a normal part of what any of us are going through, and that’s okay. Stage 4 cancer can be scary.”

Mellencamp said that April 1 was the first time she had immunotherapy and radiation on the same day, with the treatment leaving her feeling “so tired and run down.”

“I kinda thought that I had already beaten it,” she continued. “And then a couple days later, I found out I had four more tumors. So there’s so many different highs and lows.” 

The reality star announced in February that doctors found multiple tumors on her brain after she was struggling with “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks. 

She had four large tumors surgically removed on Feb. 12 and shared that her “smaller” tumors would be treated with radiation. However, she later returned to Instagram on March 6 to reveal that doctors had discovered additional tumors.

According to the American Cancer Society, stage 4 cancer is the most advanced phase of the disease, with a five-year survival rate of 35
