Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am so glad to reached out to us with your concern.
I strongly suggest you find another breast surgeon, who will biopsy the lesion. That is the only way to know if the lesions are benign or malignant.
Serious concern should be focused on your family history of breast cancer, and the fact that the initial lesion is increasing in size, a new lesion has developed, and breast pain is not normal.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last spring. It was detected on a PET scan, which was ordered to check the status of a previously diagnosed and treated brain cancer. Within one week, I had a breast ultrasound, mammogram and breast biopsy. With no time wasted, a mastectomy and lumpectomy were performed, and chemotherapy initiated. Today, there is no sign of recurrence and reconstructive surgery is completed.

Aj33, please get that second opinion.
