\n Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy, revealed on Saturday she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, with a doctor telling her she has less than a year to live.\n <\/p>\n
\n In an essay in The New Yorker<\/a>, the 35-year-old wrote that she was diagnosed last year with acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation known as Inversion 3, a genetic anomaly found in less than 2% of AML<\/a> cases.\n <\/p>\n \n Doctors discovered the cancer shortly after Schlossberg gave birth to her daughter in May 2024.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI did not \u2014 could not \u2014 believe that they were talking about me,\u201d Schlossberg wrote. \u201cI had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn\u2019t sick. I didn\u2019t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n In the essay, Schlossberg documents the grueling treatment process, which included several rounds of chemotherapy, two bone-marrow transplants and participation in two clinical trials. Schlossberg said she was also diagnosed with a form of Epstein-Barr virus in September, which \u201cblasted my kidneys,\u201d and had to learn to walk again.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cDuring the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe,\u201d she wrote.\n <\/p>\n \n Schlossberg, an environmental journalist, is the second daughter of former US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and designer Edwin Schlossberg. Tatiana Schlossberg and her husband, George Moran, have a 3-year-old son<\/a> and 1-year-old daughter.\n <\/p>\n \n Schlossberg said her siblings \u2014 Rose, a filmmaker, and Jack, who earlier this month announced a run for Congress<\/a> \u2014 have been helping raise her children and \u201chave held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
