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!

It was a GREAT mother's day!




I so enjoyed Mother's Day. Was surrounded by my kids and my mom spent the day with us. Ricky and the kids cooked a great meal, then he and I were off to Toledo Bend for a little bit of work and some well deserved relaxation. We watched a beautiful sunset and had  a very enjoyable, quiet evening.  Father Buddy will drive to come and meet us today for some much needed quiet time too! It's a little overcast today, but nothing can overshadow the hope in my heart for many more enjoyable peaceful days in my life! I am grateful for having shared another mothers day with my family. I am blessed!
How bout Audrey's bathing suit? She loves animal print just like her Mimi!
