Hi, I was diagnosed with possible Basel cell carcinoma 8 days ago too. Not heard anything from the hospital or GP since. Do you know what happens next? Was a bit all over the place then I saw the specialist, and didn't really know what to ask. I do remember her saying she was going to be writing 2 letters, but not sure who to. Mine is on my eye lid, so will need plastic surgery after removal. Really would like to know when to expect the ball to start rolling. Should I contact my GP or wait for them to contact me?
