A Kennedy's Fight Against Time: Tatiana's Brave Stand

Tatiana Schlossberg, a member of the renowned Kennedy family, has revealed devastating news. At just 35 years old, she has been given a one-year prognosis after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a serious type of cancer.

Discovery of the Illness

Tatiana discovered her condition after the birth of her baby in May 2024. Doctors noticed an abnormality in her white blood cell count. Typically, a healthy individual has between 4,000 to 11,000 of these cells in a microliter of blood. However, Tatiana's count was alarmingly high at 131,000.

Initially, doctors suspected the high count might be related to her pregnancy. However, further tests revealed the grim truth. Tatiana was shocked by the diagnosis, as she had felt perfectly fine and even went for a swim the day before receiving the news. With a young son and a newborn daughter to care for, the diagnosis came as a tremendous shock.

Treatment and Prognosis

Following the birth of her child, Tatiana spent five weeks in the hospital. She then began chemotherapy at home and explored new treatments. Unfortunately, earlier this year, doctors informed her that the cancer was incurable.

Despite the grim prognosis, Tatiana expressed gratitude for the support of her husband, George, and her family, who have stood by her throughout this difficult journey.

Family's Struggles

The news is particularly hard on her mother, Caroline Kennedy, who has already endured the loss of her father, President John F. Kennedy, and her brother, John F. Kennedy Jr. Now, she faces the possibility of losing her daughter as well. Tatiana expressed her sorrow for adding this new sorrow to her family's life.
