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!

Evie with Mimi and Gigi!


Got to visit a little with Kristin's mom today. She is in town enjoying every minute with Kristin and Bryan and Evie! I dropped in at their apartment for a quick snuggle with Evie. 
We are excited about Ben's upcoming graduation on Saturday the 23rd! Let's just say Ben has been much less than fond of school for a few years now and is so proud to be finishing this 9 weeks with A's, B's and C's!!  ("I swear mom if you don't believe me you can call the office at school!") Here is one of his senior portraits that Bryan took! It's SOOO Ben!
