Worried about CANCER

My husband recently went to the doctor for pain in his elbow.  After a x-ray showed nothing, a MRI w/out contrast was performed.  Upon receiving those results a MRI w/ contrast was preformed.  It revealed he has a mass in three bones in his elbow.  He also showed problems with his bone marrow.  Long story short cancer could not be ruled out.  They did blood work and his WBC, MCH, MCV, MPV and Platelet counts are high.  His RBC is low.  Does this conside with cancer?????

He has a biopsy scheduled next week.  We have received more test results and there is a protein that is showing whatever it is, is spreading. Last week he had a full body scan that revealed no tumors on any other bones.  They are suspecting multiple myeloma however, many of his blood results do not reflect this particular cancer.  I can add complete results if it would help.  I am so scared and so confused....

Can say this IS or ISN'T cancer.  

Any biopsies done in regards to the mass?  

Issues with his bone marrow?  What determined this?
