'That's when they said I had four plumb-size tumors in my brain and then within the next day I was in surgery,' she told Deborah Roberts on ABC's Nightline.

Since then she has undergone radiation therapy to shrink remaining tumors, including some in her lungs, along with immunotherapy.

According to Teddi, the doctors have told her she had a '50/50' chance of recovery. 

In an interview with Extra she said she would be returning to the hospital on April 23, where doctors will check to see if the size of her remaining tumors have changed.

'Next Wednesday, I go in and get my next CAT scan, where they’ll find out if these recent tumors are getting smaller,' she told the oultet. 

'And then I also get my third round of immunotherapy, the health coach said.

'I always thought radiation was the one that was going to kick my butt, but it’s been immunotherapy,' she said of the difficult treatments. 

Relying on her dark humor she advised, 'So, we’ve got about four days of a bad mood coming up. Everybody, clear out.'
