'Every Day Is a Battle': Former 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Star Diagnosed with Tongue Cancer
Kara Bosworth says the fundraiser will help pay for Jeana Keough’s treatment, living costs and nutrition as she undergoes chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy.
- Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough was diagnosed with tongue cancer at age 70, prompting her daughter, Kara Bosworth, to launch a GoFundMe campaign to cover treatment expenses.
- While visiting Florida a few months ago, Keough noticed a painful spot on her tongue, which she initially attributed to a tooth issue before a biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma.
- Currently in her fifth week of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, Keough faces an inability to work that has "created an enormous financial burden," Bosworth said.
- Following an initial surgery to "remove the cancer," doctors recommended a second procedure to remove lymph nodes, at which point they discovered the illness had spread.
- Donors have raised over $15K of the $22K goal as Keough struggles to maintain nutrition and hydration while navigating the exhaustion of her ongoing treatment.
