Confused MRI suggest MS- now spinal- Question

Hi all,
So the MRI (non-contract) result was "one little spot right side unusual for my age", that's actually what my doctor said. Now of course I have tons of questions but couldn't think to ask then.
***UPDATE: MRI report says "Minimal nonspecific periventricular T2 white matter hyperintensities seen in the right frontal lobe bordering the frontal horn the right lateral ventricle, which is unusual for age" (I'm 44)***

Next thing doctor said spinal tap to confirm MS dx. I'm not really loving the idea of spinal and read that 20% of MS patient never test positive for the proteins.

My question is, wouldn't a MRI with contract be helpful? Could they tell if it was a tumor vs. ms lesion with a contract MRI?

My doctor also said there was "narrowing of cervical base, which could be causing the arm tingling". Does that mean I need to see a chiropractor or is that related to MS?? I hate to sound so naive about this, but honestly I am. This is all so new to me.

My PCP is going to refer me...should I be asking for some kind of specialist?
There's so much conflicting info out there, I don't know what is fact anymore. Too much internet doctoring.

Thanks for your advise.
