Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, said she is battling terminal cancer, revealing in a deeply personal essay that her doctors estimate she has less than a year to live.

Schlossberg, 35, shared the news in The New Yorker, writing that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia shortly after giving birth to her daughter in May 2024. Her medical team identified a rare genetic abnormality known as Inversion 3, an aggressive mutation associated with poor treatment outcomes.
