The granddaughter of John F. Kennedy revealed she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, said she received the news that she had acute myeloid leukemia after giving birth to her second child in May 2024.
Writing a candid essay in The New Yorker titled ‘A Battle With My Blood’, Schlossberg said the diagnosis came when a doctor noticed an imbalance in her white blood cell count.
‘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,’ she recalled being told.
The 35-year-old, the sister of Kennedy political scion Jack Schlossberg, said she was diagnosed with a ‘rare mutation called Inversion 3’, which ‘could not be cured by a standard course.’
