‘RHOC’ Alumna Jeana Keough Announces She’s Cancer Free After Diagnosed With Tongue Cancer

Jeana Keough has announced she is cancer free four months after revealing she was diagnosed with tongue cancer.

“Jeanna (sic) is cancer free and that called for a little puppy party,” former “Real Housewives of Orange County” pal Jeannine Cecchini wrote in a joint Instagram post Saturday.

“I’m so grateful to be here to celebrate with you, my friend,” she added.

“Eric (Paxton) and I loved having you over – full arms, happy hearts and puppies. We love you, Jeanna (sic) and we both look forward to more days like this.”

Cecchini shared an image of herself, Paxton and Keough sitting together near Christmas decorations and presents while holding small puppies.

In July, Keough’s daughter Kara Bosworth announced that her mother, 71, had been diagnosed with cancer after noticing a painful sore on her tongue.

“A biopsy confirmed our worst fear: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue,” Bosworth wrote on a GoFundMe page, explaining that the former Bravo star has since undergone two surgeries, one to remove the cancer and another to “remove the lymph nodes.”

However, after the second operation, doctors noticed that the cancer had spread.

Bosworth, 38, said his mother – who works as a real estate agent – ​​had been unable to do her “commission” job and had lost a huge amount of income.

As she continued to receive treatment, Keough was unable to speak due to “tongue and throat pain, coupled with mucus from radiation to the area,” Bosworth explained in her Instagram Stories at the time.

In August, Keough completed radiation treatment.

Keough was an original cast member of “RHOC” and remained on the show for five seasons, from 2006 to 2010.
