Answer
With a family history of breast cancer I do not think you should wait. Insist on 1. An MRI scan of your breasts! 2. Needle biopsies of your breast masses (either stereotactically, or by palpation or by ultrasound or MRI guidance)! That way you do not need to wait but can get the results quickly and we will know what this is! It may not be dangerous but then we will KNOW that!
