\u201cA Battle With My Blood,\u201d<\/a> Schlossberg recounted going through rounds of chemotherapy and two stem cell transplants and participating in clinical trials. During the most recent trial, she wrote, her doctor told her \u201che could keep me alive for a year, maybe.\u201d<\/p>\nSchlossberg also criticized policies pushed by her mother\u2019s cousin, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in the essay, saying policies he backed could hurt cancer patients like her. Her mother had urged senators to reject his confirmation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers,\u201d the essay reads.<\/p>\n
Schlossberg had worked as a reporter covering climate change and the environment for The New York Times\u2019 Science section.

While her parents and two siblings tried to hide their pain from her, she said she felt it every day. Her siblings, Rose and Jack Schlossberg, are JFK\u2019s other grandchildren.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,\u201d she said. \u201cNow I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family\u2019s life, and there\u2019s nothing I can do to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schlossberg\u2019s mother Caroline was five years old when her father, U.S. President Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. She was 10 when her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Los Angeles in 1968 while he was running for president.<\/p>\n
Caroline\u2019s brother, John F. Kennedy Jr., died in 1999 when the single-engine plane he was piloting plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, near Martha\u2019s Vineyard, Mass. His wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, also died in the crash.<\/p>\n
Shriver called Schlossberg valiant, strong and courageous.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was smart, wicked smart, as they say, and sassy. She was fun, funny loving, caring, a perfect daughter, sister, mother, cousin, niece, friend, all of it,\u201d Shriver wrote.<\/p>\n
