Can understand why you’re feeling upset about the outcome. I recently had a lumpectomy and excision lymph nodes which was successful. I had a marker/clip put in at time of original biopsy six months ago . At this surgery , on day of surgery, (after months of chemo) I had to go to,imaging dept first and have dye injection (which you may not have needed?) and also have a fine wire inserted to localise the lump for the surgeon prior to surgery. I did ask why a fine wire needed as well as clip and was told that clip can migrate and a wire is used to go through the lump and help,the surgeon localise his/her excision and get clear margins. Normally fine wire done under u/s but they did have to revert to mammogram in the end as they had difficulty visualising the lump,well on u/s. Perhaps this may be relevant to your care as well? Ask the surgeon .
