Dear tnt406:  You are describing a lot of non-specific symptoms.  Some of these things could be symptoms of cancer, yet most often, they are symptoms of other problems.  You will be best served by making an appointment with a primary care physician who can do a full history and physical and better address your questions.

I'm sure you'll be getting a "offical" answer soon, but if I were you I'd go see a doctor. You sound like your totally stressed out over everything, so maybe seeing a doctor may put your mind a ease... good luck
