About this time last year I went to my gp about a patch of skin on my forehead. After repeat consultations and a biopsy and having to repeatedly chase my results it was confirmed as skin cancer. They told me it's the lowest grade one (basal cell something?) and that it is unlikely to spread or worsen but would still need to be removed. This whole process started a year ago and I had the lesion for a few years before and just never thought anything of it. I'm now getting really worried as it itches and seems to be getting bigger. I'm frightened to be out in the sun and just can't settle knowing I'm walking around with this.
Does anyone know how soon a referral should be and if anyone has experienced the same condition how was your experience?
