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!

Me and My Two Bald Guys!


Today I had an appointment with Dr. Joseph Brierre for my injection for my white blood count. He was a really good sport when I pulled out my camera and told him he'd be on my blog tonight. It is important for me to include the pictures because these are the special people God has placed in my path to help me along to restored health. Not only has he sent me competent, knowledgeable people, but they are good hearted, faith filled individuals who make me feel safe in their care. And for that I am grateful.
So as you can see in the picture, at first glance Dr. Brierre and Ricky do kinda look alike. In a few days when I'm as bald as the two of these guys, we'll take another picture!

"No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

He comes in search of us....wow, a God that awesome that doesn't wait for us but comes to seek us out and when finding us, carries us home on His shoulders...this was in my readings today and I thought of you and the times you may not feel well enough to come to Him, but He will be with you through it all carrying you when you feel you cannot go on....
