I have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma

Hi, sorry I don't think I spelt my diagnosis right but I have chronic nausea, I'm just waitto be seen by a team of senior surgeons and they will decide on the best treatment. 

However I also have heart problems and I'm due to have my valves replaced, now I'm worried what they will do first and will they affect each other. 

Sorry  Basal cell carcinoma

Thank you.
