Hi,
Yes you need to get her properly investigated for a confirmed diagnosis. Has she noticed the lumps in relation to her menstrual cycle? Breast lumpiness, pain and tenderness is common during the menstrual periods due to hormonal fluctuations. Also because of the family history of cancer a proper clinical evaluation and USG is important. See the Gynecologist and get a detailed clinical evaluation done, you go with your daughter to the clinic because she might be hesitant to ask questions. Clear any doubts that you might be having and also ask her if you could get a repeat USG. Goodluck.
