She lost custody of her children due to breast cancer

American Alleyne Giordano (37) from Durham lost her battle for custody of her children because she has breast cancer.

According to the verdict of Judge Nancy Gordon Kahn Snyder is more suitable to take care of the son (5) and daughter (11), although the woman claimed that her husband abused her in the marriage.

The children will have to move in with their father in Chicago next month while she battles a terminal illness.

"There's no point in them taking my children because they don't know how long I'm going to live. Nobody knows when I'm going to die," said Alleyne, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, about six months before she moved with her family to Durham for her master's degree. her husband.

She claims that the children, despite her therapies, have a normal life.

"The children know that I have cancer and that I go to therapy once a month," she explained. However, the judge doesn't see things that way. Nancy Gordon believes that Alleyne cannot adequately care for the children because she does not have a job.

She also suggested that she move to Chicago because "it's easier to move cancer than her ex-husband's job."

Alejn states that she has been looking for good medical treatment for years, and that now that she has it, she wants to continue there and receive treatment.

"For the judge, my ex-husband's job is probably more important than my illness," Alleyne said.

After the verdict, she received many letters of support and offers from lawyers to help.

"I have to win for my children and for all other children," she wrote on her blog.
