After experiencing severe headaches, doctors discovered multiple brain tumors and removed two in February. Mellencamp, a mom and podcast co-host, has been candid about her journey, sharing emotional highs and lows.
She credits her children and their support for helping her stay strong, often finding comfort in laughter. At a recent cancer benefit, Mellencamp appeared without a wig, proudly showing her surgical scars.
In a hopeful update, she shared that her tumors have “shrunk or disappeared” following radiation and immunotherapy. She has a few treatments left and remains optimistic.
“I’m going to keep a positive outlook,” she said. “You did this. You got this… you got that Mellencamp blood.”
