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!

Sunday was Ricky's Birthday!




We celebrated Ricky's Birthday Sunday afternoon with cake and home made ice cream. Looks like there is always someone missing for a picture! Usually Ben, cuz he's always off fishing somewhere. One of Ricky's favorite things is being surrounded by his kids and grandkids, so he was certainly "HAPPY" in this picture. Later Audrey and Evie played on the floor together. Audrey is beginning to realize that Evie is a person that moves and cries. She is fascinated by watching her! They are so cute together.
