Hi there and welcome to the community.
A ductogram (also called a galactogram) is used to view your breast ducts, and is helpful in diagnosing nipple discharge
Having a ductogram can accurately guide your surgeon to the ducts that may need to be removed,
A ductogram requires that a contrast agent be injected into the breast, like during a breast MRI. A tiny tube (cannula) is used to put fluid into the breast duct, like during ductal lavage. The injected contrast agent allows your milk ducts to show up clearly on a mammogram. Ductography is a very specialized procedure, and isn't available everywhere so I am sure just by this factor alone that yu are in excellent hands
Here is a link to a page that I found which goes into greater detail on how the procedure is performed step by step.

Though I haven't been through this procedure myself as I had the core biopsy I wish you the very best and hope you return here by using this page and let us know how you are doing

I re-read the title and missed the most important word of your post and for that, I apologise..
Scared...
Please accept I huge warm hug from across the ocean, bless you of course you are scared. These procedures we do, though definitely necessary are hard to come to grips with as you need to deal with the information on the procedure itself, but also the uncertainty of the results.
I hope another member is available to tell you of her experience first hand, but know that you can take a support person with you and if at any stage you are unsure of what's going on around you, just ask.
I hope you can gain some measure of comfort in knowing that this specialized procedure is used as it is far less invasive to your body than by other methods.
Hang in there - what I can tell you is that you can do this, you really can and please let us know how you get on by using this thread, or if you have any further concerns
My prayers and thoughts are with you
