I hesitate to say that I disagree but I would advise you to seek a second opinion before making the decision to have bilat. mastectomy. I would suggest a Breast Surgeon and have him/her go over your films as well as your biopsy results. Mastectomy is not the usual treatment for ADH.     Regards .....
