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!

Happy Birthday Momo!






Today is my mom's 80th birthday and we gave her a new kitty cat. She had one that disappeared and never came back. She was so excited to open the bag and find a new little kitten. She will count on him to keep the mice population down this winter! She looked like a kid who had just received the best present ever and then began to have immediate sinus issues. Good thing he will be an outside cat! Hope we can keep him safe from Bosco and Drake! Everyone pray that he lives a long, long time and keeps her company! Twas good to see her smile! Next Saturday the whole gang will come in to officially celebrate her birthday!

I just love the pics of her "surprise kitty." Who was more surprised, Mom or the cat? I hope they get along together! Love, Angie
