Tatiana Schlossberg has shared heartbreaking news.

In an essay published by The New Yorker on Saturday, November 22, the youngest daughter of Caroline Kennedy and husband Edwin Schlossberg revealed that she has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia — and that doctors have told her that she has less than a year to live.

“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” Tataiana, 35, wrote in the post, revealing that she discovered that she had cancer after giving birth to her second child, a daughter, in May 2024. (Tatiana and husband George Moran share a 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter.)

“A few hours later, my doctor noticed that my blood count looked strange. A normal white-blood-cell count is around four to eleven thousand cells per microliter. Mine was a hundred and thirty-one thousand cells per microliter,” she wrote.

“It could just be something related to pregnancy and delivery, the doctor said, or it could be leukemia,” the journalist added.

However, Tatiana shared that she was ultimately diagnosed with “a rare mutation called Inversion 3,” something which she noted is “mostly seen in older patients.”

Over the last year, the granddaughter of late president John F. Kennedy and wife Jackie Kennedy has undergone a bone-marrow transplant as well as chemotherapy. In January, she began a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy —  which Cleveland Clinic describes as a type of therapy against certain blood cancers, sometimes used when when other treatments aren’t effective or blood cancer comes back — but was later told by her doctor that the prognosis didn’t look good.

“During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe,” she wrote in the essay. “My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”

“My son might have a few memories, but he’ll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears,” she contained, “I didn’t ever really get to take care of my daughter — I couldn’t change her diaper or give her a bath or feed her.”

Tatiana noted in her essay that her family — which includes sister Rose, 37, and brother Jack, 32 — have been helping take care of her two kids.

“For 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,” added Tatiana.  “Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

Tatiana’s essay was published on the 62nd anniversary of JFK’s 1963 assassination.
