When I received my CT report it showed a clip had been left in after my partial mastectomy. I developed ocular myasthenia gravis about two weeks after I completed radiation. I called and questioned what the clip was made from since foreign bodies could have caused the autoimmune disease.
We all have the right to have a copy of our records and be informed.

That is a very good question, I have a few clips in each breast, have no
idea what they are made of, and never thought about it till I read your story.
When I go back to the Dr. in April I will ask him. are all clips different? Please
when you go back to your Dr. and find out, please let me know.
