Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis experienced a significant health decline

In November 1993, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis experienced a significant health decline following an accident during a fox hunt in Middleburg, Virginia. After being thrown from her horse, she was taken to the hospital for examination. During this visit, doctors discovered a swollen lymph node in her groin, which was initially diagnosed as an infection. However, this incident marked the beginning of a troubling health journey for Onassis. By December of the same year, she began to experience additional symptoms, including stomach aches and swollen lymph nodes in her neck. These developments led to a more serious diagnosis: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This type of cancer affects the lymphatic system and can lead to various complications. The diagnosis was a turning point in her life, as she faced the challenges of treatment and the emotional toll of her illness. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, known for her grace and resilience, would continue to battle her health issues over the following months, drawing attention and concern from the public and her loved ones alike.
