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!

Evangelene Ava Boudreaux has arrived!

It was a long day....Labor started at about 3 a.m. so then Dr. Hardey agreed to let mother nature give it a go! Progress remained slow all day. So late this evening Evangelene arrived by c-section. Haven't spoken with Bryan yet. We received this info via texting. I 'm sure when things get settled he will call. So far all we know is 8lbs. 2oz. and lots of black hair! Will post more tomorrow. Am glad she's here safe and sound!
