Tragedy has struck the Kennedy family once more as Tatiana Schlossberg, 35-year-old granddaughter of slain President John F. Kennedy, revealed on Saturday she has less than a year to live after being diagnosed with blood cancer.
She disclosed the prognosis in a New Yorker essay titled “A Battle With My Blood,” poignantly published on the November 22 anniversary of her grandfather’s 1963 assassination in Dallas 62 years ago.
The mother of two wrote that she has myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation. The first paragraph gets right to her experience in what can only be described as powerful prose:
When you are dying, at least in my limited experience, you start remembering everything. Images come in flashes—people and places and stray conversations—and refuse to stop. I see my best friend from elementary school as we make a mud pie in her back yard, top it with candles and a tiny American flag, and watch, in panic, as the flag catches fire. I see my college boyfriend, wearing boat shoes a few days after a record-breaking snowstorm, slipping and falling into a slush puddle. I want to break up with him, so I laugh until I can’t breathe.
She continues, “Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost. Maybe it’s because I don’t have much time to make new ones, and some part of me is sifting through the sands.”
Schlossberg reports that physicians discovered a high white cell count in her bloodwork just hours after she gave birth to her second child in May 2024 at Columbia-Presbyterian hospital in New York. Doctors thought it could be something related to the delivery or “it could be leukemia,” she wrote.
“It’s not leukemia,” she told her husband George Moran, who was then a urology resident at the hospital. “What are they talking about?”
But it was.
