"Mass" on the spine. Can somebody tell me what to expect?

Generally, yes.  The malignant parts will be brighter on the scan. ETA: They should also be able to pick up the blood supply to the mass (if there is one) when they use the contrast.

 

Isn't this only for PET scans where glucose is used?

ETA: Never mind. Just read the rest of the post. There is contrast fluid involved.

I didn't realise I would have a problem with an MRI either.  Mine was supposed to be on a Friday for a month long migraine.  I had to wait all weekend, panicking worse and worse, until my doctor was able to give me something and I could go again on the Monday.  DH still had to lean in and hold my hand the whole way through.  ((Hugs)) to you and your family.  Praying for peace and answers.

 

Best wishes
