What is an Acceptable Wait Time for Basal Cell Cancer Treatment on Ear?

Madtown005
My GP referred me to dermatology for a biopsy after I pointed out a non-healing sore on top of my ear. It took a month to get in for the biospy and a week to get the results which were basal cell cancer. Now I have a Mohs procedure scheduled but the soonest they could get me in was two months and three weeks out. Is that an acceptable wait time or should I be trying to get in sooner?
