Hi,
You should have asked for X-ray mammography. According to BI-RADS score the nature of the lump can be predicted in a more definite way. As you have got strong family history, BRCA mutation status to be checked. Breast MRI may be an option also. In case of any suspicion more radical approach must have been taken. Consult your doctors.
