<p>An interesting section of the LA Times article talks about Chicago attorney Pam Jann, going through a divorce on the heels of breast cancer treatment:</p>

But perhaps the most agonizing moments, she said, come when the house is empty and her daughter is spending time with her ex. While she has primary custody, “to not be able to hug your daughter when you want to is gut-wrenching,” said Jann, a two-time cancer survivor who also underwent radiation treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma when she was in college.</p>

<p>“The first weekend without her, I fell to my knees,” said Jann, a board member for the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation. “I’ve never experienced pain like that. I look at her now in a totally different light. To me, every second matters.”

<p>As if fathers don’t feel the exact same way! The NY Times blog and especially the comments portray Giordano’s husband as the devil incarnate. If he were that much of an a-hole, wouldn’t he have divorced her and cut off her health insurance?</p>
