Teddi Mellencamp Gets Wig, New Hair Amid Cancer Battle

Mellencamp—mother to Slate, 12, Cruz, 11 and Dove, 6, with ex Edwin Arroyave—seemed most excited to have the ability to style her hair in different options, like a ponytail, which she noted was “such a game-changer.”

“I’m so happy,” Mellencamp confessed in the salon chair while clapping her hands, later adding, “I love it so much!”

And Mellencamp’s hair transformation isn’t the only update she’s given about her health this month. She also posted a patient day-in-the-life vlog shared on Instagram June 2.  

“So ever since I was diagnosed with stage four cancer, I get immunotherapy monthly,” Mellencamp explained in the clip. “And I was getting CAT scans and MRIs monthly, but this past time, they decided they’re going to wait three to four months in between the test. This has created such a nervous, raging anxiety inside of me.”
