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!

Homecoming Dance for the twins!




For a long time it felt like I would FOREVER have small babies to look after! Probably because I kept giving birth to very many babies! And then we blinked and tonight we sent our beautiful twin "babies" off to a homecoming dance! Wow! Unbelievable! Suddenly time is quickly moving forward and my children are growing up right before my eyes! Although preparing teenage girls for their first homecoming dance can be somewhat challenging, when I got home after we went to take their pictures I was convinced they would have a good night! Hope they did!
