The 35-year-old daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg \u2014 and the cousin of Robert K.

After being told of her diagnosis, the environmental journalist \u2014 who also shares 3-year-old Edwin Jr. with Moran \u2014 was told she would need months of chemotherapy as well as a bone-marrow transplant, confessing in her essay she had trouble processing the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not\u2014could not\u2014believe that they were talking about me,\u201d she wrote, adding:]\u201cI had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn\u2019t sick. I didn\u2019t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued:<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a son whom I loved more than anything and a newborn I needed to take care of. This could not possibly be my life.\u201d<\/p>\nTatiana Schlossberg attends Intelligencer Live: Our Warmer Future presented by New York Magazine and Brookfield Place on September 05, 2019 in New York City.

In January, Schlossberg embarked on a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy, an immunotherapy meant to fight certain blood cancers. After numerous rounds of the trial, her doctor informed her that she likely has one year to live.<\/p>\n
She said her husband has done everything anyone could possibly ask, going on about her loved ones and her situation:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day.\u201d<\/p>\nTatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former US President John F Kennedy speaks during a memorial service in Runnymede, Surrey on November 22, 2013, to mark the 50th anniversary of his assassination.

\u201cFor my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family\u2019s life, and there\u2019s nothing I can do to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
