Skin cancer

Good evening

I have had a biopsy and it has come back as I have basal cancer in my eye lid, I have waited for a few weeks for a appointment and have the first appointment with dermatology tomorrow but I’m not sure what to expect? Anyone had any experience with this please

  • Hi Natfern and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with basal cancer on your eyelid, and that no-one was able to get back to you before you had your dermatology appointment yesterday, but I hope it went well and you now have a clearer picture of what lies ahead.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this type of cancer will be along soon to offer their support and advice, but if there is anything that was mentioned at your appointment that you'd like to discuss further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease about your diagnosis.

    Do keep posting if you find it helps Natfern and remember, you are not alone.

    Kind regards,
