“I had my immunotherapy yesterday and they did my scans and at this point there is no detectable cancer,” she revealed, getting quite the emotional response out Catania.
“I still need to stay on immunotherapy for another year and I’m not considered in remission or anything,” she then added, saying she was “in such shock” and “numb” when she heard the news. “I’m still going to be having days when I’m feeling sick and stuff because I still am in immunotherapy, so I’m still fighting because you have to be,” Mellencamp continued.
Per Mellencamp, there are three years of benchmarks she still needs to hit before she’s considered to be in “remission,” but knows this is still “huge news” for her amid her battle.
“All the tumors continued to shrink and everything. It’s been good. It’s a good day,” she added.
“How am I supposed to carry on after this? F–k the episode?” the RHONJ star exclaimed after hearing the good news. “I wish i could hug you. I love you. Thank you for telling me that. It took my breath away.”
“You did it, girl, you did it,” Catania added. “You didn’t give up one day, you fought harder than anybody I know. I’m so happy.”
