    Arcadia, it's the scar from the infusa port. It's a device that is inserted under the skin in your that is connected by a long flexible tube into one of the major veins in the chest. It is used to draw blood and infuse chemo because chemo can wreck the arm veins completely. Mine was a godsend, but I'm left with a very noticeable scar now.

    BG, drain scars are usually smaller than a cm, and typically to the side or underneath the area where the breast was. Mine are barely noticeable.

    Such strong brave women.

    Breast cancer is something I think about a lot as my mum had this and lost a breast but thankfully kept her life.

    Yet another reason to keep breast feeding as long as possible.
