‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Gina Keough has been diagnosed with tongue cancer at the age of 70. His daughter Kara Bosworth gave this information and appealed for help through crowdfunding for the treatment expenses.
Washington DC [यूएस]July 19 (ANI): Actress Gina Keough, who rose to fame with ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’, has been diagnosed with tongue cancer at the age of 70. According to Deadline’s report, his daughter has confirmed this.
The former Bravo star was recently diagnosed with the disease. His daughter Kara Bosworth has started crowdfunding to meet the expenses of cancer treatment and shared the information on social media.
Daughter asked for help for treatment
According to Deadline, the GoFundMe page reads, “A few months ago, when my mother was visiting Shane and me in Florida, she mentioned a painful spot on her tongue. She thought a tooth was rubbing there and had visited the dentist several times to have the tooth sanded down.”
After a biopsy, doctors confirmed that Kio had cancer. After surgery to remove it, a second surgery to remove the lymph nodes was recommended. According to the Deadline report, during this time it was discovered that the cancer had spread.
Bosworth said, “What we thought was a one-time surgery turned into a full-scale battle with cancer. Gina is now in the fifth week of chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. This treatment has been very exhausting.” He added, “She is extremely tired, struggling to stay awake and becoming malnourished, as the pain in her tongue and throat has made it incredibly difficult to swallow even the smallest bites or sips.”
Qiao is unable to work due to cancer treatment, and this has placed “an enormous financial burden” on him.
Bosworth said, “Living on the other side of the country in Florida with young children, Shane and I felt very helpless during this entire trip. With no direct flights between us, we often wished we could be there and help with the everyday things that can feel so overwhelming during cancer treatment. Now that I’m here in Orange County and seeing firsthand what she’s going through, I feel even more. “What’s happening is how much support they need – not only while I’m here, but also after I return home.”
Got recognition from ‘Real Housewives’
Gina Kio was one of the original stars of Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ when the reality series premiered in 2006. According to Deadline, Kio was on the series for the first five seasons and has appeared throughout its run.
