Hello everyone, I am a new member.
I have recently developed a small lump on my lower eyelid and I've been seen by several specialists, they all have different opinion.
I've been advised to have a biopsy to exclude basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In case it's cancer, I will need to have Mohs surgery followed by reconstruction.
Apart from worrying about cancer, I am also worried about my appearance as the eyelids are a sensitive area.
I am also not sure whether to do this via NHS or to go privately.
Does anyone have experience with this or any recommendation for a hospital/oculoplastic surgeon in London?
I am not from the UK nor a native speaker so any information is more than welcome as I am not much familiar with the health system here. Thanks!
Hi Anna.Anna and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you have a lump on your eyelid which needs to be removed and biopsied.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this question in the skin cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as you'll find lots of people there who have had BCCs removed. If you'd like to do this clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post in the same way as you did this one.

Okay, I'll keep a look out for it.
Edit - just checked and it's there now.
