Narrative:
Visual approach to 28R sfo; with fog approaching airport from the west; advised aircraft in position; at less than 200 ft told to go around maintain 3;000 ft and fly heading 265; as we pulled nose up and reconfigured aircraft prior to turn we were startled to see climbing aircraft ahead and slightly to our left and we were closing quickly on them. We felt a left turn to 265 would put us to close to that aircraft and refused to turn; ATC then gave us a 310 heading that we over turned by 30 degrees due to our attention being diverted to watching our very close traffic and the rapidly rising terrain directly in front of us on the 310 heading.
