Been called for an appointment 6 weeks after mole removal. Should I be worried?

Please help! First time mum with an 8 month old. My mole on my back had changed since having my baby and the dermatologist decided to remove as a precaution but didn’t seem too concerned. 6 weeks later, I’ve had a call for an appointment in two days. I’ve thought of the worst case scenario worrying if it’s bad and if I will even be around to watch my baby grow up. I’m in such a mess. 
Is it normal to be called in or is called in bad news?

what if it’s stage 3/4. Am I going to die?

someone please help me to try and calm me down.

    My partner has stage 4 melanoma and the modern treatments are amazing. He's just finished his first 2 years of palliative treatment and he's still here. If/when it starts growing again he can go back on the pembrolizumab. We have 2 primary school aged children so we know how it feels to fear not being around for your kids.

    Even if it is cancer. Chances are it's caught early and if it hasn't been there's still hope. Wishing you all the best. It's a rubbish time of year to have this over your head but good luck xx
