意味を教えてください

質問

I am a freshman in college. About five months ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor after getting an MRI for a minor head injury. Thankfully, the tumor is very small and likely benign. Nevertheless, it has given me terrible anxiety. I was already a bit of hypochondriac before and now every time I experience any kind of symptom I can’t help but wonder if it’s a sign the tumor is growing. The one thing I have found helpful in countering these thoughts is reminding myself of my upcoming MRI. If the tumor hasn’t grown significantly then I’ll know I was worrying about nothing and if it has grown, I can deal with that then.

Recently, my parents (who know me very well) suggested that I push the MRI back a month, so that my inevitable increase in anxiety does not disrupt my already-stressful schoolwork. Medically, this would not be a problem as the tumor is growing very slowly (the neurosurgeon confirmed this), but I am impatient and inclined to go ahead with the scheduled date. I feel that relieving my current, slow-building anxiety sooner is worth the temporary spike that always comes with an MRI.

push the MRI back a monthとrelieving my current, slow-building anxiety sooner is worth the temporary spike that always comes with an MRIの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

「push the MRI back a month」
「MRI検査を1カ月間先延ばしする」
"push back" は "delay" と同じ意味を持ちます。つまり "遅らせる" です。
話者は学業で忙しいため、そちらに専念できるよう、話者の両親がMRIの定期検査を先送りするよう提案したのです。

「relieving my current, slow-building anxiety sooner is worth the temporary spike that always comes with an MRI」
「自分の中で徐々に増大していくこの不安を早めに消し去ることは、毎回のMRI検査に伴う一時的な多忙を凌ぐ価値がある」
"relieve anxiety" = "不安を消し去る"
"slow-building" = "徐々に増大していく"
"worth" = "価値がある"
"temporary spike" = "一時的な（忙しさの）急上昇"

２。relieving my current, slow-building anxiety sooner is worth the temporary spike that always comes with an MRIの意味を教えてください。

　MRIの時は一時的に急に心配の度が上がるが（それはいつものこと、１ヶ月、余分に待つことで）今のように徐々に上がっていく心配を早く無くす価値はある。

　（早い事予定通りに済ませれば、この上さらに１ヶ月も心配し続けて気をもむよりましだ、ということです。）
