No dehydration is not likely to influence above mentioned imaging tests. Iv hydration might help with symptoms.

Your orthopedic surgeon is correct in the search for cancer, and dehydration has no influence on the findings. Am concerned regarding your increased vomiting and headaches, and would suggest imaging of the brain in addition. An oncologist should be involved. Hopefully, this turns out benign.
