Jeana Keough, a former star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, has been diagnosed with tongue cancer. The news was shared by her daughter, Kara Keough Bosworth, who explained that her mother initially thought a painful sore on her tongue was caused by a tooth rubbing against it.
However, after months of discomfort, a biopsy confirmed that Jeana has squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. She has already undergone two surgeries, one to remove the tumor and another to remove lymph nodes. Unfortunately, doctors later discovered that the cancer had spread.
Jeana is currently in her fifth week of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. According to Kara, the treatments have left her mother exhausted and struggling to eat or drink due to severe pain in her mouth and throat. Additionally, Jeana has been unable to work her commission-based real estate job while undergoing treatment, creating additional financial strain.
To help offset medical and living expenses, Kara has launched a GoFundMe for her mother. She explained that she and her brothers want to make sure their mother feels supported throughout her cancer battle.
Jeana was one of the original cast members on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County, appearing on the series for five seasons before stepping away from life as a full-time Housewife.
