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!

YEAH!!! BEN GRADUATED!!!




This was such a great day to see Ben graduate. He was so proud and so happy, as were we!!! Following his ceremony we had a lunch in his honor with family  and then in the evening we boiled crawfish! It was a great day. Ben doesn't have a life plan yet. (not surprising cuz he's only 17), but his first move in his first day of the real world was to buy a boat. He got a really good deal on a used bass tracker and used some of his graduation $ from Momo (and Popo)  Popo would surely understand his "need" for a boat!
