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!

DONE!!!!






I am officially FINISHED with all of my radiation treatments! My journey of treating my breast cancer began in September of last year and it ended yesterday. That was 8 1/2 LONG months. But the end finally came! My family helped me celebrate in a really big way last night. Ricky cooked a brisket (his first time) that was delicious. Everyone else helped out with all the other food. And the cake was delicious! Thanks Vanessa!
Blair got really creative with the decorations! Especially my wigs! By the end of the night everyone was wearing a wig! Even
Momo Joyce! Was great to laugh and celebrate!
I still have so many feelings and emotions I want to share. I will take my time to sort through them and continue to post them. For today, I will just
CELEBRATE life!
