Breast clinic so scared

Hi I'm 23 years old and I've just been referred to the breast clinic it's in 9 days time the 15th of March and I'm absolutely worried sick I can't cope. 
 

I've been having breast pain for a few weeks now in both breasts but mainly my right and when my arms raised up I have a thickening around my nipple which looks like a build up of tissue I'm not sure ? I also have some sort of dent under my nipple which is visible when my arms raised also. 
 

I also have a red spot on the side of my breast which isn't healing ( doctors don't think it's related) but I'm not too sure. 
 

if there's anyone with stories about the breast clinic or similar symptoms could reply I'd really appreciate it 

 

thank you xx
