Schlossberg, 35, revealed she received a terrifying diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia after she gave birth to her daughter in May of 2024. After months of intense chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and experimental immunotherapy treatments, doctors told her she may have less than a year to live. <\/p>\n
As she was receiving treatments, she watched as RFK Jr., 71, was confirmed as HHS secretary \u201cin the face of logic and common sense.\u201d Schlossberg writes she reeled as her cousin slashed American healthcare funding, even though he never \u201cworked in medicine, public health, or the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cEarly in my illness, when I had the postpartum hemorrhage, I was given a dose of misoprostol to help stop the bleeding. This drug is part of medication abortion, which, at Bobby\u2019s urging, is currently \u2018under review\u2019 by the Food and Drug Administration,\u201d she continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cI freeze when I think about what would have happened if it had not been immediately available to me and to millions of other women who need it to save their lives or to get the care they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reps. for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and HHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment. <\/p>\n

The Kennedy family has long criticized RFK Jr. and his appointment to HHS secretary. His sister, Kerry Kennedy, and nephew, Joe Kennedy III, publicly called for his resignation<\/a> after RFK Jr.\u2019s calamitous September hearing before the United States Senate. <\/p>\n Caroline Kennedy, RFK Jr.\u2019s cousin and Tatiana\u2019s mother, has repeatedly slammed RFK Jr.<\/a> for his anti-vax stances and urged the Senate to reject his nomination for HHS Secretary<\/a>. <\/p>\n RFK Jr.\u2019s brother, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy, also published an op-ed that tore into his older brother for The Boston Globe. <\/p>\n \u201cAll those complicit in that betrayal have lowered themselves\u2014not least my brother, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump\u2019s secretary of health and human services, who knows my father\u2019s legacy as well as anyone,\u201d Maxwell wrote in the story published on Friday<\/a>. <\/p>\n
