Can it be a colon cancer? Or carcinoid tumor?

Hello, i am new here. But i am writing because i don't know what to do...i hope you guys can help me, maybe someone has experienced something similar. Everything started on march 25th like a simple cold except night sweats during every night. It lasted for about one week. After that i felt a burning ache in my left lower abdominal near the hip bone, it radiated into a left leg, it lasted one day accompanied by diarrhea and extreme fatigue. After that until now i am feeling these symptoms:

Pain in left neck and armpit lymph nodes
Pain in lower left abdominal radiated into a back or left leg
Pain in chest and mild coughing sometimes
Weakness and numbing in left arm and leg sometimes
Frequent urination and headaches
My pancreas pain after eating
Extreme fatigue and slow motion
Loss of appetite and loss of sleep

I have done colonoscopy, ultrasound and blood and urine test. Everyting is clear (except for a thick blood).  It definately sounds like a cancer though i am 25 years old. Any ideas for further tests?

OK....you have a 'laundry list' of symptoms. You have done a few tests. A complete metabolic  panel and complete blood count would point to abnormalities in multiple systems in your body. However, you are also describing neurological symptoms. If you can't get a firm answer and your labs look  clean (what is thick blood? Who told you this and what did they do to  determine why?) see a good internal medicine doctor at a major medical center and keep pushing until you get an answer.

Thanks for your responses! Doctors don't think that it can be something serious because of my age, but i know what's happening with me and i won't give up. Thick blood means that i have high platelet count, but i have done blood test yesterday and it have dropped from 400 to 300 * 10.
