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!

Brunch at Tiifany's (March of Dimes charity at the City Club)





Yesterday Blair, Sheila, Cheryl and I attended the annual Brunch at Tiffany's fund raiser. Kristin was co chair of this event for the second time. My dad was very active in this organization when I was a child. Isn't it amazing that the very work he did years ago to help raise money for the March of Dimes could've been very instrumental in affording us the precious moments we got to spend with Elle in her brief, tender little life? We are proud of Kristin's efforts and willingness to share her story, helping other mother's get the chance to hold their precious babies!
Evie hung in their as long as she could but eventually she gave up and succumbed to the sand man!
