Teddi, one of the daughters of rocker John Mellencamp, underwent brain surgery last month. After dealing with “severe and debilitating headaches” for several weeks, doctors ultimately found a diagnosis.
“Yesterday, the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization,” Teddi wrote via Instagram on February 12. “After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least six months.”
She added, “I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health. Thank you to everybody who has reached out and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”
