Don't worry. My sister had two, small tumors in her right eye which was easily removed by laser.

Of course, go to a specialist.All tumors around the eye, often benign,need to get out by a specialist to cause as little damage as possible.You don't want any scars in your eye -region. The eye-doctor probably recommended some place. The quicker you get there the less time to (unnecessary?) worry, the less time for anything to grow.

"WHAT IS AN EYE TUMOR?
A "tumor" simply means a mass or tissue swelling. This term applies to both benign tumors (such as a mole on the skin) as well as malignant tumors (which are referred to as cancer).
"Benign" means that a tumor that does not have the ability to invade or spread to other organs. Benign tumors are not cancers.
"Malignant" refers to a tumor that has the ability to invade and spread to other organs. The term "cancer" refers to a malignant tumor.
Most eye tumors involve the conjunctiva, uvea (composed of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid), retina or optic nerve."

What advice are you looking for? I would think that the doctor knows what he is talking about. You can get a second opinion if you want. Make an appointment with another eye doctor and see what he/she says.
Good luck!
