About Me

You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

IT'S A NEW DAWN IT'S A NEW DAY (as michael buble' would say)


Had a great checkup today with the surgeon. Lab report stated no cancer in the additional 15 nodes removed and margin around the lumpectomy was CLEAR!!  Alleluia, thank you JESUS!! Will still have to go through Chemo and radiation, but that is okay. I can do it!

Tonight, my nephew, John, will participate in a yogurt eating contest at the "PINKTOBERFEST " at LSU! A Sorority is sponsoring this "SAVE THE LIDS AND SAVE LIVES" contest. So good luck to John, we'll be sure and post his picture and let you know how he does. Please read his sweet comment on the blog. Everything that everyone does is so helpful to so many women facing breast cancer. Thanks to all of you!

"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them."
Mark 11:24
