The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared the shocking news on Wednesday through a simple black-and-white text post on social media. She explained that she had been experiencing severe headaches for weeks but pushed through the pain—until Tuesday, when it became unbearable.
A trip to the hospital led to CT scans and an MRI, which revealed multiple tumors that doctors believe had been growing for months.
Immediate Surgery and Future Treatments
Mellencamp, daughter of rock legend John Mellencamp, said she is undergoing surgery today to remove the two largest tumors. The smaller ones will be treated later with radiation therapy.
Before the procedure, the 42-year-old shared an emotional video of herself shaving her head, preparing for the operation. She expressed gratitude for the medical team working on her case and thanked her fans for their overwhelming support.
A Long Battle with Cancer
This isn’t Mellencamp’s first health battle. Just last week, she posted a photo of a large scar on her back, revealing she had undergone multiple surgeries for melanoma—a form of skin cancer she’s been fighting for years.
As she heads into brain surgery, Mellencamp knows this is just the start of a difficult journey. But with her characteristic resilience and the support of loved ones, she remains hopeful for the road ahead.
