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!

Last week of radiation starts tomorrow!






This is it. My last week of radiation starts tomorrow! Am so looking forward to spending time not being concerned about a daily appointment. I am so delighted to call it almost over.
Today was such an awesome day at Mimi and Happy's! We cooked a great Sunday meal, complete with blackberry/peach cobbler cake and blue bell ice cream. The grandbabies were here and as you can see they get VERY LITTLE attention when they are here!!! The weather was perfect, we swam and I got to lay on a raft and just float (my very favorite thing to do) It was the best day I've had in a very long time. I felt like Madelene Boudreaux (with a very short haircut)! Audrey went for her very first swim!
I think Audrey is gonna like the pool alot, but she won't get as good a tan as Evie!! The sunshine wore them out and they both zonked! 
Thank you Jesus for a lovely day! You are an awesome God.
