Hi Lyn. Thanks for your reply. Sounds like putting a clip in at the start would have been a better idea. I think the surgeon was very surprised - When I went in I could see that she didn't quite believe me when I said that it had shrunk. The planned surgery is lumpectomy. Do not know about nodes. Initial needle biopsy was indeterminate due to sample size. Am hoping that it was a good sign when they couldn't find any nodes big enough to even stick a needle in but as chemo should kill those cells off too might never know? Glad to hear clip won't move. Cheers Helen
