"Update from my scans today: I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery," posted Mellencamp, who was previously diagnosed with melanoma back in 2022. "I also have two tumors in my lungs. These are all metastases of my melanoma."

"The doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them. I am feeling positive that I will win this battle, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina’s kids’ names."
