Teddi Mellancamp is sharing an update on the status of her health during her ongoing battle with brain cancer.

During an interview with People at the iHeart Radio Music Awards, Mellencamp said she's "actually doing well" amid her treatment. During the awards ceremony, Mellencamp presented an award to her dad John Mellencamp.

"I had immunotherapy two weeks ago and then I have my next one in two weeks, so things are moving along nicely," she said.

Earlier this month, Mellencamp had shared that she suffered a scary reaction to her new medication called Steven-Johnson Syndrome.

“I thought I had the flu. And then I woke up one day and my whole body was just covered in, like, this terrible rash — like, you can't even say it's a rash because it's almost like sores all over my entire body," she said in a Tuesday, March 3 episode of her podcast Two Ts in a Pod.

Mellencamp was first diagnosed with stage two melanoma in 2022 and she subsequently underwent 17 surgeries. In 2025, Mellencamp publicly shared her cancer had metastasized to her brain and lungs. She has since undergone consistent immunotherapy treatments and while her cancer is still considered stage four, doctors have said she has "no trace of cancer."
