Summary
- Jeana Keough is unable to speak due to severe tongue and throat pain.
- Radiation and chemotherapy treatments are causing significant discomfort and malnutrition.
- A GoFundMe has raised over $70,000 to support her medical expenses and living costs.
Jeana Keough, known for her appearances on 'The Real Housewives of Orange County,' is undergoing relentless treatment for tongue cancer, leaving her unable to speak. Her daughter, Kara Bosworth, revealed that the pain from radiation and chemotherapy, along with mucus buildup, makes speaking "brutal" and requires her mother to constantly use tissues.
Bosworth shared that Keough, who initially believed a tooth was causing her pain, has been battling squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue for nearly a year. The treatments have left her exhausted and malnourished, as swallowing has become extremely difficult. Keough's inability to work as a realtor has added a significant financial burden.
A GoFundMe initiated by Bosworth has raised over $70,000 to cover medical expenses, living costs, and nutrition. This fund aims to reach a goal of $90,000, offering crucial support as Keough navigates the challenging, ongoing battle against cancer, with aspirations to return home after completing the final stages of her treatment.
