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!

JOIN OUR "THINK PINK" DAY OOPS! MA BAD!!!

On Tuesday, October the 21st, my children's school, Rayne Catholic Elementary, will sponsor a "Think Pink Day".  Any student wearing  pink that day,  will make a donation that will benefit 
the Miles Perret center, which focuses on helping those in our area cope with their cancer. I am inviting all of you that follow this blog to participate in some way on with our efforts to make a difference.  If you are in a work place or school, then encourage your co-workers to participate too. Get creative and have fun with the pink theme, while your efforts give HOPE to so many. If  you do not work, then maybe you can forward  this blog to someone who could implement this idea in their workplace. Please leave a comment and let me know how you plan to participate. Try to email me pictures of your "Think Pink" day so that we can use some on this blog!!  Our united efforts will make a difference for someone you love!?

Hi Madelene,

We at Notre Dame HS will join the "Think Pink" day. Our students will be allowed to wear pink shirts to school that day as well as other pink accessories! And, no it is not just a girl thing....the boys will be "pinked" as well!!! We are going to "Pink it up!" Our thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone who's life has been touched by this disease!

We will let you know how it goes! God Bless,
