Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, has revealed she has terminal cancer.
She disclosed her diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia, with a rare Inversion 3 mutation, in an essay for The New Yorker, following the birth of her daughter in May 2024.
Despite undergoing chemotherapy and a successful stem cell transplant from her sister, Rose, she later relapsed.
Doctors have informed her that she has approximately a year to live due to the aggressive nature of her cancer.
Schlossberg criticised her mother's cousin, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for cutting funding for mRNA vaccine research, highlighting its potential application in cancer treatment.
