‘RHOC’ Star Jeana Keough Shares Tongue Cancer Diagnosis, Says She Can’t Talk
Her daughter said chemotherapy, radiation and two surgeries have left the former reality star unable to speak or work.
- Former 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' star Jeana Keough revealed on July 19 she has squamous cell carcinoma. Her daughter, Kara, reported this week that painful treatments have left the 70-year-old unable to speak.
- Keough initially attributed the discomfort to a tooth rubbing against her tongue, visiting a dentist several times for adjustments. After the pain persisted, she sought a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis, USA Today reported.
- Doctors performed two surgeries on the reality star, with the second removing lymph nodes where cancer had spread. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation as part of her treatment plan.
- The grueling treatments have caused severe malnutrition, pain, and a blood clot, according to reports. These complications have left the realtor unable to continue working, her family confirmed.
- Keough's reality television career included appearing in the first five seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County from 2006 to 2012. She later served as the narrator for RHOC's 15th season.
