Two years after being diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma, Teddi Mellencamp is fighting yet another battle. On February 12, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, announced that doctors had found multiple tumors on her brain and that she was being rushed into emergency surgery to have two of them removed. Family and friends, including Kyle Richards, rushed to her side at the hospital, and even helped the reality star shave her head before her operation. “All the Housewives called her and sent flowers and let her know they’re praying for her,” a source exclusively tells In Touch.

Fortunately, the surgery went well, although Teddi still has a “long, tough road” ahead of her, says the source.
