I am afraid of more autoimmune because they placed stainless steel clips during my lumpectomy. I currently am fighting mast cell , and did not want any markers. I a waiting to see a plan from my DR and from Mayo Clinic.

Hi @bjjoyce1

I am hoping that you will not have any problems with mast cell activation and stainless
steel.

I think that stainless steel should be a neutral reaction and not key in mast cells.
Titatium should be neutral too.
But a doctor must comment on these.

Make a list of any mast cell reactions that you have had and any medicines too that you have had a reaction to taking.

Ask for a plan to deal with this with the doctor and ask him to ensure that you are not given
anything that are known causes of mast cell reactions and what immediate
products such as anti- histamines that can be used.

You've got this and will be ok.
