Can I Wait 7 Months for Mohs for 2mm Nodular BCC on Nose?

Medical studies have shown that delaying treatment of skin cancer allows them to grow and get bigger. Larger skin cancer require more extensive surgery, which often means more discomfort and scarring after the procedure. I usually recommend patients have there skin cancer treated as soon as possible. From your description, I think your procedure would be straightforward with very little downtime or recovery. I think treating the skin cancer now will leave minimal scarring, but I could not be certain this would be the case in another 7 months. Also, do you really want to stress about this until the summer? Unless you are prohibited from doing so by other circumstances, I would recommend treating it sooner rather than later.

As you know, Basal Cell Cancer, even though not an aggressive tumor by any means, is still a cancer.  Nodular BCC by defnition could be extending vertically and deep in addition to the outside periphery. Mohs surgery could remove the cancer cells entirely while sparing the uninvolved skin.  If the cancer is in fact only 2mm, the potential scar and recovery could be very minimal and should not interfere with your daily activities. However, if the cancer is allowed to progress and get bigger, it would need more removal of tissue with result of a potentially larger scar.

Although basal cell carcinoma is generally considered to be a "slow" growing tumor, the rates of growth vary considerably from tumor to tumor and person to person.  While it is reasonable to wait 2-3 months, with a wait of 7 months, there is a greater risk that the growth of the tumor could be significant.  I suppose the answer to your question would be yes, you can wait 7 months, but most would recommend you proceed with the Mohs procedure sooner, especially for such a cosmetically and functionally important location as the nose.
