Breast surgery

after two visits with my GP I went to my ob/gyn tonight. I need an ultrasound and most likely surgery before Christmas. My poor barely B cup left boob is swollen, was about a cup size more than the right but antibiotics and antiinflammatorys made it go down, but I still have a 5 cm hard lump/cyst. Its def not cancer, more from an injury and/or infection in the milk ducts. I am really upset... will I have to be "put under" for breast surgery? I was once for an upper endoscopy, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, almost traumatizing.
I am so upset, but atleast it is not life threatening. The ob/gyn made a BIG deal about us handling this asap. She also said that the surgeon she is sending me to is good with "weird and unusual stuff"... so basically, I am a rare case.
Has anyone else had something similiar than this? It is a hard lump taking up almost half my boob with swelling, pain, and slight discoloration. There is def some infection, but the problem goes deeper than that they say so antibiotics alone wont treat it.
Can I ever not have something broken on me? I am barely 22 years old., I am too young for this!
