More Kennedy tragedy strikes as granddaughter of JFK discloses terminal leukemia diagnosis

Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has less than a year to live after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she announced Saturday.

“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” she writes in a searing article about her condition in the New Yorker.

Schlossberg, 35, whose parents are Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation.

She described how her doctors discovered the cancer – just a few hours after she gave birth.

“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.

A stunning image of Schlossberg, with her long, brunette hair chopped close to her head and greying, accompanied the essay.

This is a developing story.
