Teddi Mellencamp shared an emotional health update on Instagram Stories as she marked what was intended to be her final day of radiation treatment in her ongoing battle with stage 4 melanoma. 

The 43-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum posted a video wearing a yellow T-shirt that read, “I’m a ray of f****** sunshine,” joking about ringing the symbolic bell that cancer patients often ring to mark the end of treatment.

According to Daily Mail, Mellencamp revealed that her final radiation session had been delayed after doctors discovered four additional tumors.
