spine mri spot, is it metastasis?

Bumping for you!  Hope you get responses soon! A post won't really appear in the thread, until the first person responds (bumping)

I didn't have a biopsy of a vertebra but have extensive spine mets.  I had other scans & mets showed up in other bones.  Did you have other scans that showed other areas of concern?  We did my biopsy of the sacrum - lower spine but it spreads out into pelvic area.  I was made very comfortable in the procedure - not fully under but able to converse and listen to things said.  No pain. 

Unfortunately for me, we pretty well knew I had mets from all the locations in the bones and my biopsy confirmed I had mets.  They don't do these biopsies without lots of concern. 

I wish you all the best and that the biopsy will not be mets but would  be misleading you if I didn't also say there is reason for concern.  If it is mets, you have many here to help you. Lets get the biopsy and go from there.  Waiting and wondering is not easy - I was in your shoes a month ago.  Do ask what kind of medication you will be given, I called to make sure I would get some drugs - they gave the ones similar to a to what is used for a colonoscopy. 

A Big hug,   Brenda
