Dear John,
Usually, basil cell cancer is not serious and is corrected by removing
the affected area of skin. If you are in doubt or want further
information, I suggest that you contact the National Institute of Cancer
at 1-800-4CANCER. They will be able to provide information on the latest
treatments for basil cell and where to go for a second opinion should you
have any concerns about your care.
Best of luck to you and God Bless.
John
