Has anyone had a hypervascular tumor removed from spine (T12-L1)?

I’ve been having some issues that I feel need to be addressed but they will not schedule the MRI until September-1 year follow up. I was also told I could do the MRI’s in my home town, which I do have scheduled now but the orders were for September and not any earlier. My primary doctor said it was between me and Mayo and she couldn’t change the date to have the MRI. I would really like to understand the surgery and what the options are.
Thank you for getting back with me.

@cheryljar Spine surgeons generally consider MRIs to be current for a year because usually the spine condition doesn't change that much in a year. If there were symptoms increasing a lot, they may do one sooner than a year. I was in that situation and had MRIs 9 months apart that showed a change in the volume of bone spurs present in the spinal canal.

It's almost August now, and September is not far away. By having the test in September you'll have the most recent imaging for Dr. Bydon which I think will be important to him.

Did you get a recommendation for a procedure or are you waiting for a first consultation with him and wondering about what the solution will be?
