RHOC's Jeana Keough "Isn't Talking" Amid Painful Tongue Cancer Treatment, Daughter Kara Says

Kara Keough says her mother is in her fifth week of chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy after doctors found the cancer had spread.

  • Former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough, 70, continues treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, with her daughter Kara Bosworth sharing updates on the family's management of her ongoing health challenges.
  • After Keough sought dental care for a painful spot on her tongue for nearly a year, Bosworth announced the diagnosis on July 19, when a biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma requiring surgery and subsequent therapy.
  • Currently in her fifth week of treatment, Keough is "exhausted, struggling to stay awake, and becoming malnourished" because pain in her tongue and throat makes swallowing difficult, Bosworth wrote on Instagram Stories on Monday, July 27.
  • Bosworth launched a GoFundMe that has raised over $70,000 toward a $90,000 goal to address the "enormous financial burden," while she and brother Colton Keough manage their mother's daily medical needs.
  • As the family manages complex medical care including a DVT discovered in Keough's leg, Bosworth noted they are "praying for their mom's full recovery" while remaining focused on her comfort and ongoing support.
