How To Treat A Tumor In The Spinal Pathway?

i have a problem sleeping on my back and putting my two legs together usually when i sleep. I also can not jump nor run and walk with pain. Recently it was detected from an MRI test that i have a tumor in my spinal pathway which is pressing against the nerves that controls my movement. They want to open my back and take sample for a biopsy and some friends are advicing i should find an alternative means. May i know what your advice will be. Thank you. I am 47 yrs and 1.75m high, weighing about 96 kg. Charles
