The kids are beginning to get settled in school and the twins love going to Notre Dame! Sunday is Ben's 18th birthday and after his birthday lunch, Ricky and I are going on an overnight trip to New Orleans to hunt down an antique door to make a king size head board out of! We will go to the restoration architectural places and one called the Green Project ( a recycle store) A nice getaway for the two of us!!!
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!

Had Three great checkups!
So far this month I had 3 great checkups with 3 different doctors! All my physical exams (breast and lymph nodes and pap smears) all checked out great! Will have a mammogram at the end of the month! Then looking forward to getting back on track. I have started a regimen of walking/running about 3 miles a day and have really cleaned up my diet, except of course, for those Sunday family gatherings and all those bon bons and birthday cakes!
