Faint brown line on big toe and mole on sole of foot.

I'm of British Asian heritage and never thought the mole which appeared a year a so ago would be anything. Last week I noticed it had changed shape and looks bigger than the last time 4mm. I've mentioned this last week to my Gp who has arranged for a dermatology appointment at the hospital. I didn't think much of it until I started reading up about a faint line on my left toe and and the mole on my foot. My hubby thinks I shouldn't work my self up with Dr Google but have a horrible feeling it could be acral lentiginous melanoma. Both my parents are deceased quite some time ago and neither they or relations I know of had skin cancer. I've never been on a sunbed getting tans but have sunbathed at the beach on lovely holidays in the past. 
I just wanted to offload on a safe forum. I'm counting down the days till my appointment next week Friday.
