Jeana Keough, an alum of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” (RHOC), is undergoing treatment for tongue cancer, according to reports from multiple outlets. Her diagnosis is said to have been announced on July 19 by her children, Kara and Shane. Kara Keough provides updates on her mother’s condition, stating that Keough is currently unable to speak as part of the treatment process and that the therapy is taking a difficult toll. Additional health complications reported include a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) found in Keough’s leg a few days after the initial cancer announcement, which is addressed in updates from family members.
Another report characterizes Keough as “isn’t talking” while she continues treatment, reflecting that she is not able to communicate normally during this period. Across the coverage, the central points are that Keough has tongue cancer, her family shares that she is struggling with the effects of treatment, and she has been dealing with at least one additional medical issue identified during the course of care.
