So now I have seven treatments left! If any one is keeping count, it probably seems as though we are adding treatments instead if subtracting. Well you are right. I met with a new doctor this week that felt like my radiation treatment has not been aggressive enough! So he added 4 additional treatments to my original plan and increased the dose. At this point, I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'd actually rather be finished and soaking up some real sun rays on the beach. Doesn't look like that'll happen any time soon! When the end got so close I was feeling so glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I just want OUT of the FRICKIN tunnel!
One of the gifts of my cancer is that it has taught me to slow my pace. Life is not rushing by as quickly as it used to. I guess this very last challenge during my treatment has more lessons in store for me. Meanwhile school is out tomorrow!
Summer time, YEAH!!!
About Me
- Madelene Boudreaux
- Rayne, Louisiana
- 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!
