Tatiana Schlossberg, the Granddaughter of JFK's Most Recent Reveal About Terminal Cancer Diagnosis
Tatiana Schlossberg, a 35-year-old environmental journalist and granddaughter of former US President John F. Kennedy, has come forward with her terminal cancer diagnosis in a recent essay published in The New Yorker. Schlossberg revealed that she was diagnosed last year with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare genetic anomaly known as Inversion 3, which affects less than 2% of AML cases.
The diagnosis was made shortly after Schlossberg gave birth to her daughter in May 2024, and the grueling treatment process has left her physically and emotionally drained. The essay details her experience with chemotherapy, bone-marrow transplants, and participation in clinical trials, as well as a recent diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus, which affected her kidneys and required her to relearn how to walk.
Schlossberg's cancer prognosis is dire, with her doctor estimating that she has less than a year to live. However, during one of the clinical trials, her doctor told her that he could keep her alive for about a year. Despite this uncertainty, Schlossberg expressed gratitude towards her family and medical team who have been supporting her throughout her treatment.
Schlossberg's diagnosis marks another addition to her family's history of tragedy, following in the footsteps of JFK's assassination in 1963 and the assassination of her great-uncle, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968. She expressed regret for adding yet another layer of pain to her mother's life, stating that she had always tried to be a good daughter and sister.
Schlossberg's husband, George Moran, has been by her side throughout this ordeal, along with their three children: a 3-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter. Her siblings, Rose, a filmmaker, and Jack, who recently announced his run for Congress, have also taken on significant roles in caring for their niece's family.
Schlossberg's essay offers a poignant glimpse into the challenges of living with terminal cancer, as well as the resilience and strength of her family in the face of adversity.

I'm literally shaking thinking about Tatiana Schlossberg's situation. Cancer is so unfair 
. I feel like she's been through so much already giving birth to her daughter and now this. My heart goes out to her, her husband, kids, and siblings - they're all going through so much emotional pain 
. But what I love most about Tatiana is how grateful she is for her family's support. It just shows us that even in the darkest moments, there's always something to be thankful for 
. Can we do more to help fund cancer research or clinical trials? We need to keep pushing forward and find a cure 
tatiana schlossberg's story is like, totally heartbreaking 
i mean, she's been through so much already, having a kid & all, and then to find out she has terminal cancer... it's just devastating 
but what really gets me is her family's support for each other - they're all in this together 
rose the filmmaker sister, jack with congress, george the hubby... they're like a team of superheroes saving tatiana's life 
and i have to say, she's got some major cred for facing this head-on & sharing her story so openly 
. it's also crazy how fast life can change, one minute we're living our best lives and the next we're dealing with terminal cancer diagnosis... anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Tatiana's essay makes you think about your own priorities and relationships, and whether they align with what truly matters 
Oh my god this is just heartbreaking... Tatiana Schlossberg's story is like something out of a movie... one minute you're celebrating the birth of your daughter, and the next you're fighting for your life... 
. As a mom myself, I can only imagine how hard it must be for her and her family... George, Rose, Jack, and the kids... they're all going through this together, and it's beautiful (but also really tough) 
. It's about not just surviving, but thriving even when things seem darkest 
. And let's be real, Tatiana has an amazing support system - family that's been through their own share of tragedy 
.
