Former RHOC Star Jeana Keough Completes Radiation Amid Ongoing Cancer Struggles
Jeana Keough has finished her radiation therapy, but her battle with tongue cancer continues as she faces new treatment challenges.
Jeana Keough, known from "The Real Housewives of Orange County," completed a course of radiation treatment for tongue cancer, according to a GoFundMe update from her daughter Kara Bosworth. Bosworth warned that the upcoming fortnight will be especially difficult because chemotherapy and radiation are overlapping, leaving Keough at her physical weakest. Keough, 70, is dealing with radiation burns on her neck, relies on a feeding tube, and continues to experience sharp pain, though she declines narcotic medication.
She recently managed to sip water, a small but important milestone for preserving swallowing ability. While Bosworth has returned to Florida, her brother Colton remains in Orange County to care for her, and another brother, Shane, along with his wife Francheska, are traveling to assist. The family has raised over $74,000, and supporters are urged to pray for the completion of chemotherapy, removal of the feeding tube, pain relief, and successful immunotherapy.
