Suspected BCC on waterline of eye

Had a phone appointment with doctor, just about impossible to get a face to face appointment.   After emailing photos my doctor thinks I may have BCC on the waterline of my eye . He said he will refer me to hospital but I probably won't get appointment until after Xmas.  Can anyone tell me please if this is a normal wait time?  I'm think I'm probably anxious as I had breast cancer last year.
