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!

Think Pink Day for Miles Perret Center

     First things first, THE DRAIN IS GONE, Thank you Jesus!!! Am so relieved to be able to move more freely. We now pray that my body knows what to do with the lymphatic fluid that was going into the drain. 
     Pink Day at Rayne Catholic was awesome. The kids all paid fifty cents and could dress in pink and all the proceeds went to the Miles Perret Center in Lafayette.  Our little school is the best and they always step up to serve our surrounding community. Thank you to Mr. Menard, our principal and to Kristina Lavergne who did a fine job of putting it all together. Kristina did a great job of explaining to the kids what the Miles Perret Center is all about and how the center serves those in our area who have are fighting and surviving cancer, with care and compassion. During the morning assembly the students gathered to pray for any loved one who has been affected by cancer. Then later in the day  each class was treated to a variety of Pink snacks. It was all beautifully inspiring! Our children are very spiritually grounded, because of the giving heart of our school!
