Skin cancer-BCC, have to wait 7 weeks for biopsy to confirm

Today I was diagnosed with bcc skin cancer but I don't have my biopsy booked for 7 weeks time to confirm it. Do you think I should call up and try and get a sooner appointment? It's grown quite a lot in the last 3 months, I'm dreading how big its going to get! Dermatologist suggested MOH's surgery as it's on my Tragus so will be abit awkward to remove.

    You are very lucky!! I noticed a red mark October last year. Had a biopsy this June and unfortunately have to have surgery. I was treated for eczema. I am distraught. From a biopsy you then have to wait to see a consultant. Then for treatment. I saw consultant on Wednesday and got a call to see the plastic surgeon this week. Because of how it has gone. Be seen asap. Goid luck.
