Not yet: Hemangiomas occur in 20% of the population and very few require treatment. Very large hemangiomas have the ability to collapse if they occupy a significant area of the vertebral body and there is associated trauma to that area. See a spine specialist- orthopedic spine surgery or neurosurgeon for your treatment options and to decide if it's necessary.

Sorry: You alone can decide whether you want to do what a doctor suggests. Your doctor can suggest, but the decision and responsibility is yours alone. Hope this helps!

Spinal Hemangiomas: Spinal hemangiomas are almost always benign lesions incidentally found on imaging studies obtained for other reasons. Rarely do they require any intervention. They tend to involve the vertebra (bone), so when you say "covering over 99% of my disk, " I am not sure what you mean.
