Hi,
A mastectomy and lymph gland removal would be advisable just as your surgeon has suggested. You have a strong family history of breast cancer and chances should not be taken. You could still go ahead with the MRI and PET scan so that you are convinced. Even if the lesions are benign their removal is the most recommended option alongwith a definite diagnosis establishment by the pathologist.
