My surgery clips were put in before my surgery to show where the cancer cells were located. They called the clips “fish hooks.”Clips were counted by the pathologist and my surgeon thought the uncounted clip was suctioned out. Unfortunately he was wrong. It is still in my breast. I hope to have reconstruction this summer and the clip be removed then.
