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!

Happy MARDI GRAS!!



Well, little Miss Audrey got to celebrate her very first Mardi Gras! So here she is with her Mardi Gras beads that her aunts caught for her at the Mardi Gras Parade. Momo Joyce (my mom) came over yesterday and we snapped  a picture of her holding Audrey. Last night another baby made his debut into our family... Thomas Andrus. Hallie and Mitch (my nepehew) had their 3rd child at around 10 p.m. last night. Mom and baby are doing great.  Now that's a lot of blessings!! 
Lent begins tomorrow. I love this liturgical time of the year. Getting on track spiritually is top  priority. Am certainly yearning for  a spiritual renewal. 
Chemo is tomorrow. Now that's something I can offer up for Lent!
