Sounds like they want an MRI scan of that area to ascertain what the lesion is. MRI is magnetic resonance imaging. It's like an x-ray but it doesn't use radiation, just strong magnets. They are very safe.

What's a lesion?

Karen, you really need to discuss your concerns and ask these questions with your GP. The folks on here can't advise you medically, and even those working in a medical field don't know anything about you so can't rely on guesswork. Phone the doctor who requested the MRI and ask their advice.
