Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough is celebrating a major milestone. The news was announced on social media and confirmed that she is cancer free having fought a tough battle with the aforementioned illness.
The RHOC alum’s friend took to Instagram to share a joint Instagram post with friend Jeannine Cecchini on Saturday, November 14. Cecchini made the announcement as she was celebrating with Keough.
“Jeanna [sic] is cancer-free, and that called for a little puppy party. So grateful to be here celebrating this with you, my friend. Eric [Paxton] and I loved having you over—full arms, happy hearts, and puppies. We love you, Jeanna [sic] and we are both looking forward to more days like this,” she added.
View this post on InstagramKeough’s diagnosis became public in July when her daughter Kara Keough Bosworth revealed that a biopsy had confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The diagnosis came after Jeana had been suffering from a persistent sore which she initially thought was down to a tooth catching on her tongue.
The sore had troubled Keough for close to a year. After the biopsy confirmed cancer, she underwent surgery to remove the tumor. Doctors later found that the disease had spread to her lymph nodes, leading to another operation.
Her treatment included chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. The process took a significant toll. Keough experienced severe tongue and throat pain, while radiation caused mucus and other side effects. She struggled to eat and maintain proper nutrition, and her family arranged a feeding tube to support her through treatment.
Keough completed radiation in August. However, the months that followed remained challenging. In October, Kara told Page Six that her mother was still having difficulty eating, relying on a feeding tube for nutrition and dealing with coughing fits and exhaustion. She was also attending speech and swallowing therapy.
Kara shared details of her mother’s diagnosis in July and launched a fundraiser to help with medical and living expenses while Jeana was unable to work as a real estate agent. The family also received support from the Real Housewives community, including former co-star Vicki Gunvalson.
Keough was an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County, appearing during the Bravo series’ first five seasons from 2006 to 2010. Her latest announcement brings welcome news after a demanding stretch for the reality star and her family.
