Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of former US President John F. Kennedy, has announced that she has cancer and that doctors have given her less than a year to live. The granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, recounted that she was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after the birth of her second daughter in May 2024. Schlossberg, a journalist specializing in climate issues, also used the text to criticize her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a declared anti-vaxxer, for his stance against science and medicine. "From my hospital bed, I watched as Bobby (the nickname she gives her cousin), against all logic and common sense, was confirmed for the position, despite never having worked in medicine, public health, or government," she lamented. Specifically, she criticized the cuts to medical research funding that Kennedy Jr. promoted after being appointed Secretary of Health by President Donald Trump this past January. Schlossberg is the daughter of designer Edwin Schlossberg and diplomat Caroline Kennedy. The 35-year-old Schlossberg, a mother of two, revealed in a column in the magazine 'The New Yorker' the process she has been through since being diagnosed with leukemia last year to her last clinical trial, in which her doctor told her she might have a year to live. Since then, she has undergone chemotherapy sessions to fight the disease and a bone marrow transplant from her sister, but the cancer has returned.
