‘RHOC’ alum Jeana Keough announces she’s cancer-free after tongue cancer diagnosis: ‘So grateful’

Jeana Keough has announced she is cancer-free, four months after her family revealed she had tongue cancer. The news was shared by her friend Jeannine Cecchini in an Instagram post celebrating with a puppy gathering.

Keough, 71, was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma after a painful tongue sore. She had surgery to remove the cancer and lymph nodes, but doctors later found it had spread; she completed radiation treatment in August. The illness also prevented her from working as a commission-based estate agent and temporarily affected her ability to speak.
