Keough exclusively told Page Six that she noticed a sore on her tongue sometime last year, so she went to her dentist who “insisted” the sore was from her teeth “digging” into her tongue. She was eventually referred to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor, but she“couldn’t afford” the almost-$3,000 biopsy because the office didn’t accept her insurance. Later on family vacation, Keough told Bosworth she didn’t want to eat spicy food because it would hurt her tongue, which prompted Bosworth to convince her mom to get a biopsy. Keough (seen here) was diagnosed with tongue cancer last month. jeanakeough/Instagram The Bravo alum (pictured here) has undergone multiple surgeries to treat her cancer. jeanakeough/Instagram “That doctor took one look in my mouth and said, ‘That’s cancer,'” Keough told us. “A biopsy was done, and when I got the results back, it was confirmed.” Keough has undergone two surgeries, including one to “remove lymph nodes,” but briefly had to pause treatment after doctors found a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) clot and infection in her leg The reality star also lost her ability to speak.
