Edwin Arroyave Supports Teddi Mellencamp Amid Brain Surgery

Teddi Mellencamp underwent brain surgery to remove tumors, and Edwin Arroyave, who she is divorcing, stands by her in support during this difficult time. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum had been in terrible pain. 

Coping With Cancer Alone

Cancer terrifies people, and it must be very difficult to cope with a diagnosis and treatment without someone to lend a shoulder to cry on. It’s not the first time the Bravo star had surgery for cancer because after Kyle Richards told her to see a doctor about a suspicious mole, she had surgery for that. 

This time, Mellencamp faced a much worse form of cancer. On her social media, she told her followers that she suffered terribly from very bad headaches. Scans revealed more than one tumor on her brain. Two were removed surgically, and the rest will be treated with radiation.

Support & Feedback 

Apart from sharing Mellencamp looking so unwell and vulnerable in the hospital, Edwin Arroyave also posted a message. Later, it was shared on Instagram by @bravoandcocktails. In it, he said:

So many people asking for updates. All I will say right now is surgery went well. That said, I’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some rest. I know she is so grateful for the outpouring of love.

Many Bravo fans felt pleased that Edwin stepped up to support his estranged wife. Actually, after so many critics slammed The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum after her elimination from Celebrity Big Brother, the outpouring of love seems special. 

Bravo Fans React

In the comments section, a lot of people talked about Edwin Arroyave who stepped up for Teddi Mellencamp. Here are some of their reactions:

• I’m glad that they can go through this with each others support no matter the past. Very mature and I’m praying for her.
• My prayers for her and her family. Hope she has a speedy and healthy recovery. Brain surgery is beyond painful, I’ve had 2 to remove tumors and I don’t wish this on anyone.
• This is devastating. Personally always loved her and her personality – but it is nice to see people supporting her now.
• Poor teddi has been through hell this past year. I feel for her kids, husband and close friends. She’s a fighter and I hope she turns around and recovers from this.

Aaron Cohen-Gadol, MD noted on his website, that tumors on the brain are not always terminal. He added:

Early detection and prompt treatment, whether it be surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination thereof, can improve quality of life for patients and increase chance of survival.

Hopefully, Teddi Mellencamp come out fighting again. Check back with us often for more news and updates about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
