Jeana Keough's Health Crisis: Treatment Paused Amid Complications
22 Jul
Summary
- Jeana Keough has not eaten for two weeks due to her cancer battle.
- Doctors discovered a DVT clot and infection, delaying treatment.
- Chemotherapy and radiation are temporarily halted as Jeana recovers.
Jeana Keough's fight against tongue cancer has encountered severe complications, impacting her ability to receive nutrition and continue treatment. As of late July 2026, Keough has been unable to eat a full meal for two consecutive weeks. Doctors had planned to insert a feeding tube to address this, but the procedure was halted.
This decision was prompted by the identification of a deep vein thrombosis clot in Keough's leg, alongside an infection. The presence of the infection prevents the immediate placement of the feeding tube, requiring further medical assessment. Consequently, Keough's ongoing chemotherapy and radiation therapies have been temporarily suspended.
Doctors had previously diagnosed Jeana Keough with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, after initial concerns about a persistent sore were attributed to a tooth. She had already undergone surgeries to remove the cancer and nearby lymph nodes. However, the cancer had spread, necessitating chemotherapy and radiation treatments. These treatments are now on hold due to the recent medical complications.
