Fear won't help : You should take on whatever it is. Following up with your doctor for a treatment plan, responding with positive attitude, and cooperation will take you much further that curling up in fear.

Mri and biopsy: There is no point to be scared at this time. You should wait for the result of MRI and certainly to proceed with biopsy as indicated and wait for the result of the biopsy. Keep your head clear and deal with the problem calmly. Being scared will not help you in making a good decision. Good luck and god bless.
