Hi and welcome to the online community
It's natural to assume the worst but try to take just one step at a time. Is your appointment on Friday with your GP or have you already seen him/her and been referred to a dermatologist?

I was diagnosed with melanoma on my arm just over 4 years ago and also went privately for the initial consultation. However, as I didn't have private insurance the consultant got my GP to refer me to his NHS clinic for the biopsy.
Just to keep your expectations realistic, the dermatologist will only be able to tell if it's definitely melanoma once a biopsy is done and the results from the biopsy are back. Sometimes moles can look 'dodgy' but just turn out to be something benign so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that that is the case for you.
Do come back on Friday and let us all know how you got on.
