I was not informed about the clips and found out about them a year later. I have no idea what they’re made of. How’re ever I’ve developed severe auto immune disorder since then.
How do I find out if it is or isn’t related to the clips?

I am so upset I too were not info. I never signed a consent of any kind, only after I read my post surgical report i discovered the surgeon placed clips for radiation. Surgeon were well aware that I did not plan on having radiation this was said to her many times just before my lumpectomy surgeryx2 and she took it upon herself and placed clips I requested a call from surgeon and when I questioned about the clips she did not know exactly how many she placed “4,5, maybe six” was her response this was not noted in the report., also didn’t know if it’s titanium but stated I will be able to go through the airport with no problem. Big concern here. I want these clips removed.
