A new tragedy befell the dei clan Kennedy: which appears to be another example of the curse that has beset the famous family for decades, Tatyana Schlossbergdaughter of Caroline Kennedylearned that she had terminal leukemia the day her second child was born.
Doctors now give him at most another year to live between a bone marrow transplant and increasingly aggressive experimental treatments. Tatiana herself described her odyssey in an essay in the New Yorker in which she linked her personal drama to the disaster inflicted on America’s health service by her mother’s cousin, Rfk Jr. Tatiana, 35, is the second child of Caroline and her husband Edwin Schlossberg.
Caroline Kennedy’s sick daughter
The acute myeloid leukemia that struck him a year and a half ago had a rare mutation known as Inversion 3 that is found in less than 2% of cases, especially in elderly patients. «I can’t, I can’t believe they are talking about me», Schlossberg wrote about the doctors: «The day before I swam a mile in the pool, in the ninth month of pregnancy.
I’m not sick. I am one of the healthiest people I know.” In her essay, Tatiana recounted a very difficult course of therapy, which included several cycles of chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants and participation in two experimental clinical studies. She later announced that she was also diagnosed in September with a form of the Epstein-Barr virus that damaged her kidneys and that she had to relearn how to walk. “During the last clinical trial, the doctor told me that maybe he could keep me alive for a year.”
Who is Tatyana’s daughter
Tatiana Schlossberg, journalist, and her husband, George Moran, doctor, have two children. The woman then spoke about the disease and its treatment, also referring to her uncle Robert Kennedy Jr., the health secretary in the Trump administration: “A source of embarrassment for me and my entire immediate family.” Tatiana wrote that doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center, where she was treated, did not know whether they would be impacted by the Trump administration’s cuts in federal funding to Columbia University. “Suddenly, the health care system I relied on became unstable.” Schlossberg’s tragedy adds to the rest of the family’s history, which includes many premature deaths: from the assassination of his grandfather Jfk in 1963 and the murder of his great-uncle, former attorney general Bobbie Kennedy, in 1968, to his uncle Jfk Jr.’s fatal plane crash.
