Hello everyone
About a week ago I was told by the GP that the nodule I have on my upper eyelid in the inner canthus is basal cell carcinoma. He has referred me to an opthalmologist. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this, and also how long it usually takes to be referred and treated. I am also worried about if it could cause sight issues. The nodule is only 1mm.
