This fight is not over, but that round has been won,” she wrote. “The laughter, support, and patience of my kids, my family, and my closest friends is one gift with which words cannot properly express my gratitude,” Teddi continued. “As I move on to the next steps in my treatment, I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for the outpouring of love and prayers.

I see them, and they’re definitely helping me stay strong.” Previously, Teddi said “the remaining smaller tumors would be dealt with via radiation at a later date.” Her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave was by her side right after surgery and said it went well.
