Do multiple biopsies increase bc risk?

I have had 3 core needle biopsies and I just had an excisional biopsy last week, all on my left breast in just the last 2 years, . All have come back b9. Each 6 month follow-up finds some new area of suspicion: architechtural distortion with grouped microcalifications, then there was a new area of grouped microcalcifications, then the last cnb showed "high risk papilloma", which is why I had the excisional. The excisional results came back with the following:

Flat epithelial atypia with microcalcification; Florid usual ductal epithelial hyperplasia; Apocrine metaplasia; Focal columnar cell change. Comment: The papilloma present in the biopsy is a microscopic finding present in a rare duct. A residual abnormality of that type is not seen.

I understand those are all b9 conditions, but has anyone else had multiple biopsies that were b9 and then followed with a malignant finding? All of my biopsies have been in a short period of time and only in my left breast. My doctor said that anytime the area shows a degree of suspicion. I'm just wondering if all this means it's more likely that at some point it could become something more serious.
