My Dad has a similar lesion on his cheek was told the nhs won't remove it, because of the location it would interfere with wearing a mask!!! He lives in West Sussex so he had it removed privately last week cost £1000.

Hooe the information helps  

Thanks, that's good to know and glad your dad got it removed in the end. Will try a few London clinics tomorrow and see what I find

I paid £1100 in the north west for removal, flap reconstruction and histology. Would've been £700 for excision and no flap but wanted a good cosmetic result as it's on my face.

Hi I know this post is from last year but was hoping to find out where you had this done. I live in the northwest and don't know.where to start. It's been over 18 months since my mum 1st went the doctors. She found out she had bcc in a letter. The follow up phone call was very matter of fact, with no time speak, just an underlying message that if it isn't treated quickly there's a potential it could spread. I want to get it sorted ASAP. Where do I go?

Good evening Nicola

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It's understandable that you want to get this resolved for her as soon as possible. 

Unfortunately, the forum terms and conditions do not allow members to recommend specific health care providers. 

We do have some information about comparing NHS with private cancer treatment but I'd also suggest speaking with your Mum's GP or Consultant for further advice. Alternatively, you can give our team of nurses a call who may be able to give you some information to help you take the next steps. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope that you're able to get this sorted soon. 

Best wishes,
