personal essay published in the New Yorker<\/a> on Saturday, revealing she has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation.<\/p>\n\u201cMaybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,\u201d the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg heartbreakingly writes. <\/p>\n

Schlossberg described how doctors discovered the cancer\u00a0just hours after she gave birth to her second child in May 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy doctor noticed that my blood count looked strange. A normal white-blood-cell count is around four to eleven thousand cells per microliter,\u201d she writes. \u201cMine was a hundred and thirty-one thousand cells per microliter.\u201d<\/p>\n
The article was accompanied by searing photos of Schlossberg showing her hair chopped short and greying. <\/p>\n
Doctors were curious if the illness was connected to the Sept. 11th, 2001 terror attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery doctor I saw asked me if I had spent a lot of time at Ground Zero, given how common blood cancers are among first responders. I was in New York on 9\/11, in the sixth grade, but I didn\u2019t visit the site until years later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not elderly\u2014I had just turned thirty-four,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,\u201d Schlossberg \u2014 pictured with husband, George Moran (center) and brother, Jack Schlossberg \u2014 wrote. AP<\/p>\n

Schlossberg described the shock of getting the bad news.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not\u2014could not\u2014believe that they were talking about me. I 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<\/p>\n
The article by the political scion came Nov. 22 \u2013 the 62nd anniversary of her grandfather\u2019s 1963 assassination.<\/p>\n
Her brother, Jack Schlossberg, is running for Congress in the 12th Congressional District being vacated by Manhattan Rep. Jerold Nadler (D-NY).<\/p>\n
