Appointment tomorrow about a unusual lump that has come up on my arm

I have a go appointment tomorrow about a unusual lump that has come up on my arm   It has grown to nearly double the size over the past couple of months it looks exactly the same as some skin cancer that my brother had on his face   So I’m really scared  but at the same time I’m worried that it doesn’t look like anything to worry about  and I’m wasting the doctors time   Am I doing the right thing by going to the doctor

    Hi Njk0810, 

    I just wanted to check how the appointment went? You did well to go and get this lump checked and you are never wasting the doctor's time in doing so. I think it was important to get it checked especially as it has grown so much in the last couple of months and it reminds you of the skin cancer your brother has on his face. 

    What did the doctor say? 

    I hope it turned out to be nothing to worry about and that the doctor has given you some reassurance or some guidance as to what the next steps might be. 

    Best wishes,
