It's not cancer until it's been diagnosed but you definitely need to continue until you get definitive answers. I had to go to 4 different doctors before one finally did a FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration)which confirmed my cancer. I hope your problems are not cancer related but do keep pressing for answers until you're satisfied with the answers because, if it is cancer, your life may very well be at stake.
