Had Fibroadenosis In Right Breast. Mammogram Due. Can Scan Show Presence Of Lump?

I am 54 and I was told I had Fibroadenosis in my right breast some years ago and that it was not cancer and nothing to worry about. I am due to have a mamogram soon but it really hurt me a lot last time and I am very scared to go back and have this done again. could a scan show if there are any lumps or if my condition has turned into something more serious? I am so afraid of that machine that squahes your breast that I cannot sleep.
