Brief Answer:
Yes you can get a second opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Basal cell carcinoma is eminently curable. Surgery to remove the tumor is usually sufficient. So I am sure you can get rid of it.
However, before going for anything, you have the right to get the biopsy reviewed at another center, to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
