HI.
Just to sedate your worries.
Cancers are never painful in the beginning stage.
Fibroadenosis is never to get transformed into cancer.

The best way to get disease diagnosed is FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology / Biopsy.
Biopsy is of few types and you decide which one you want to undergo;
Part of the lump removed from the most suspicious area.
OR- the whole lump is removed - you get two benefits-
1-The painful disease is removed and you get rid of the disease for ever.
2- Your Pathologist gets the whole lump - so that he can declare for sure whether you have got a cancer or not.

THE ONLY problem is a scar and may be volumetric reduction in size. So it is upto you to decide. Most important is histological diagnosis. Te only sure way to know thew diagnosis.
