Teddi Mellencamp has given fans a shocking new diagnosis regarding her melanoma diagnosis. If you've watched "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," then chances are you've heard of the lifestyle personality. Throughout her time on the series and well after, Mellencamp has remained an open book about her life, including her health scares. In March, the "Two T's In A Pod" podcast host revealed that she had an emergency removal of a mole on her back. "This is a reminder to please go get your yearly skin checks. I had been avoiding mine [because] of anxiety for a very long time," she wrote on Instagram.
The former Beverly Hills housewife went on to say that Kyle Richards noticed an abnormal mole and took her to the doctor, who said it looked like melanoma. After receiving the scary diagnosis, the reality star underwent a "big removal." However, on October 12 the TV personality shocked fans when she revealed that she had stage 2 melanoma after attending a follow up appointment. "Despite my anxiety, I listened to the doctors and went in for my 3-month skin check... I got the call this morning: Stage 2 melanoma," she wrote on Instagram. Now it looks like Mellencamp has given another upsetting update regarding her skin diagnosis.
After receiving a stage 2 melanoma diagnosis at the beginning of October, Teddi Mellencamp was set to undergo removal of the abnormal mole on October 18. However, in an Instagram post, the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star revealed that it was postponed due to more melanomas being found. "Due to so many melanomas in one area, they are worried to cut in there and try to remove because they aren't sure what they would be cutting into," she explained. The reality TV star went on to say that despite the roadblock, she and her doctors set up a new plan –– which included getting a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to see how far the cancer has spread. "Once you have a better understanding of the disease, the next step is talking about your treatment," she added.
In a follow-up social media post, Mellencamp revealed the results of her PET scan and said that the doctors think she's "predisposed to melanomas." She explained, "I will need wide encision surgery removal and nodal mapping. During the surgery, they will also do a sentinel lymphnoid biopsy." Towards the end of her post, the TV personality revealed that her surgery was scheduled for October 25. In addition to the procedure, she'll also be meeting with a geneticist to try and receive a BRCA2 mutation. "Thank you for the outpouring of love and support. Please go get checked," she wrote.

Fox News' Co-Anchor John Roberts Has Another Health Scare — Update
October 18, 2022
Fox News co-anchor John Roberts was missing in action at the beginning of October 2022 and it appears his absence may have been attributed to another health issue. At the beginning of 2022, the journalist revealed that he had a pacemaker implanted after having been hospitalized for a heart procedure, reports USA Today. Roberts says that the stent that was put in his heart in 2018 “had blocked back up again, so they reopened it.” Fast forward to Oct. 17, 2022, and Roberts is back in the media sharing details about his latest health battle.
On Oct. 7, 2022, Roberts took to Twitter to provide his fans and followers with the latest update on his health. In his tweet, Roberts wrote “A huge thanks to @ScottRSteeleMD and the team at @ClevelandClinic for fixing my post-diverticulitis problems. Scott is ex-Army trauma surgeon and @WestPoint_USMA graduate with several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I could not have been in better hands! @KyraPhillips.”
Although Roberts didn’t go too much into depth about his diagnosis, we did a little digging to gain a better understanding of what exactly Roberts may have been dealing with. Here’s what we found. According to the Mayo Clinic, diverticulosis is a condition that happens “when small, bulging pouches develop in your digestive tract.” And when one or more of these pouches becomes inflamed or infected, a person then suffers diverticulitis. The Mayo Clinic says the condition is usually more common in individuals over the age of 40 and carries the following symptoms: fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and “a marked change in your bowel habits.” In an article published on the National Library of Medicine’s website, it’s noted that some individuals who experience diverticulosis “frequently also have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)." While it isn’t clear whether Roberts was dealing with any of the symptoms listed above, his tweet did indicate that he had his post-diverticulitis problems “fixed.”

What the Mayo Clinic fails to say about diverticulosis:
Last June, by court order Pfizer released an 80,000 page document of results of its trials. A slew of adverse events were suffered by trial participants, including diverticulitis, classified as a Level 4 adverse event, "most severe." Not a single adverse event was attributed by Pfizer to the vaccine.

A high schooler went into sudden cardiac arrest. His teammate and coach saved him
October 20, 2022
Drew Strasser, 18, had just finished his warm-up laps at tennis practice when he lurched toward the wall to brace himself before slumping down, unconscious. His teammate and friend Jake jumped into action performing CPR on him while a coach, Jesse Atkinson, rushed to get an automated external defibrillator (AED) to jolt his heart. Their quick action likely saved the teen’s life. “I never would have thought it would be my kid,” Laneia Strasser, 38, of Rochester, Indiana, told TODAY. “His friend, his 18-year-old teammate who works as a lifeguard — luckily he handled the situation right. Nobody knows how you’re going to react to a situation like that, and he did what he needed to do.”

B.C. lighthouse keeper forced to take 500-km trip for heart surgery after evacuation in heavy fog
October 22, 2022
Harvey Humchitt, Jr. was up at 3 a.m. for the start of his shift at the Cape Scott lighthouse when he started noticing pain in his chest. Humchitt, keeper of the lighthouse on the wild northwest tip of Vancouver Island, says he initially attributed the pain to angina. But by late afternoon he was doubled over. "I was keeling over, grabbing my chest," he recalled. His partner of 33 years, Todd Maliszewski, with whom he lives and works at the lighthouse station, convinced him to call for help — but by then dense fog had blanketed northern Vancouver Island, making it difficult to co-ordinate a rescue from the remote spot, which is only accessible by boat, helicopter or the rugged North Coast Trail. Humchitt's medical emergency on Oct. 2 triggered a multi-vehicle rescue effort that highlighted the challenges and risks associated with his line of work — and, according to the union that represents lighthouse keepers, shows how more support and relief staff are urgently needed for this critical role. Humchitt would end up making an almost 500-kilometre trip to get surgery in Victoria after narrowly avoiding a massive heart attack.
