Tatiana Schlossberg, the 34-year-old granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, has shared a heart-wrenching essay in The New Yorker about her terminal cancer diagnosis. The environmental journalist, who is married with two young children, revealed that she has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation, typically found in older individuals. Schlossberg underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants, and clinical trials, but her doctors informed her that she may have less than a year to live. Schlossberg, who is married to Dr. George Moran and has a 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter, expressed feelings of guilt for adding to her family's history of tragedy. Her family has been through a lot, including the loss of President Kennedy and his brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Schlossberg's cousin, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has been a prominent figure in the national stage, but Schlossberg expressed concern that his policies could harm cancer patients like her. Schlossberg's essay, published on the 62nd anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination, sheds light on the challenges she has faced over the past 18 months. Her story has been shared by her cousin, Maria Shriver, who hopes that it will raise awareness about the struggles faced by cancer patients and their families. Schlossberg's courage in sharing her story is an inspiration to many, and her advocacy for cancer research and awareness is a testament to her strength and resilience.
