John F. Kennedy's granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, has revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis in a poignant essay published in The New Yorker. The 34-year-old environmental journalist, who is the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024, after her doctor noticed a high white blood cell count following the birth of her second child. Schlossberg has undergone extensive treatment, including rounds of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants, and clinical trials. Despite her efforts, her doctor estimates that she may have about a year left to live. In her essay, Schlossberg expresses her frustration and sadness as she watches her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., advocate for policies that could harm cancer patients like herself. Schlossberg is particularly critical of Kennedy Jr.'s decision to cut funding for mRNA vaccine research, which she believes could be used to develop treatments for certain types of cancer. As she navigates the challenges of her illness, Schlossberg is also worried about the impact on her family, including her young children who may not remember her. With a sense of resignation and sadness, Schlossberg reflects on the life she won't get to live, the pain her loved ones are hiding, and the tragedy that has befallen her family.
