Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of John F Kennedy, has shared heartbreaking news about her health, revealing that she has been diagnosed with terminal blood cancer and has less than a year to live. The 35-year-old environmental journalist disclosed that she was diagnosed with myeloid leukemia shortly after giving birth to her daughter last year.

In a poignant article published in the New Yorker magazine on the anniversary of JFK’s assassination, Tatiana recounted her journey since her diagnosis in May 2024, when her doctor observed abnormalities in her white blood cell count. Despite considering herself one of the healthiest individuals she knew, she learned that she had a rare mutation called Inversion 3, which could not be treated with standard therapies.

Following her diagnosis, Tatiana underwent two bone-marrow transplants, chemotherapy, and blood transfusions. She later participated in a clinical trial for CAR-T-cell therapy earlier this year, which unfortunately did not provide a positive prognosis. Despite her treatments, she has been informed that her time is limited.

Expressing her anguish over the impact on her family, Tatiana expressed guilt about adding another tragedy to her mother’s life. She also criticized her second cousin, RFK Jr, for his actions regarding cancer funding and vaccine skepticism, calling him an embarrassment to her family.

The history of the Kennedy family has been marred by tragedies, with the so-called Kennedy Curse being a topic of speculation. From JFK’s assassination in 1963 to Robert Kennedy’s tragic death in 1968, and the subsequent losses of family members, the Kennedy legacy has been marked by sorrow and misfortune.

Tatiana’s personal battle with cancer has shed light on the challenges faced by individuals fighting terminal illnesses and the complex emotions that come with such a diagnosis. Despite her struggles, she remains resilient and determined to make the most of the time she has left.
