Jeana Keough announced she is cancer-free four months after revealing she had been diagnosed with tongue cancer.

“Jeanna [sic] is cancer-free, and that called for a little puppy party,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum’s friend Jeannine Cecchini wrote in a joint Instagram post Saturday.

“So grateful to be here celebrating this with you, my friend,” she added.

“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.”

Cecchini shared an image of herself, Paxton and Keough sitting together near Christmas decorations and gifts while holding small puppies.

In July, Keough’s daughter, Kara Bosworth, announced that her mom, 71, was diagnosed with cancer after noticing a painful sore on her tongue.

“A biopsy confirmed our worst fear: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue,” Bosworth wrote on a GoFundMe page, explaining that the former Bravo star had since undergone two surgeries, one to remove the cancer and another to “remove lymph nodes.”

However, after the second surgery, doctors noticed that the cancer had spread.

Bosworth, 38, explained that her mom — who works as a real estate agent — had been unable to work her “commission-based” job and had lost a massive amount of income.

As she continued to receive treatment, Keough was unable to talk due to the “tongue and throat pain, paired with the mucus from radiation on the area,” Bosworth shared on her Instagram Stories at the time.

In August, Keough finished her radiation treatment.

Keough was an original member of the “RHOC” cast and stayed on the series for five seasons, from 2006 to 2010.
