High Calcium, Normal Vitamin D & PTH

So I have had tons of blood work done and urine test and nuclear scans and CT scans.  Its not a parathyroid issue that was ruled out.The scans show nothing on my parathyroids. I am waiting on my thyroid biopsy results.  But my doctor has brought up Cancer.
I have High calcium levels in my blood 11.2 and in my urine.438.0, PTH 7.19, Protein in urine 321 Vitamin D 38

I am just looking for outside possibilities maybe an idea of what else to look for or look at.
What kind of cancer is possible for a 30 year old woman?

Any response would help  Thanks

With the PTH <10 and the high urine/serum Calcium, you need an evaluation for "non-parathyroid hypercalcemia" -- among the most common causes happens to be cancer, but other causes include sarcoidosis, thyroid disease, adrenal disease, excess vitamin A, among other entities.  A PTH-related protein test (some cancers release a PTH like protein) should be done along with serum/urine immunofixation (testing for myeloma - unusual at this age).

my biopsy on my thyroid tumor came back today and it is negative for cancer.  I am waiting for my PTH like protein test to come in.  Tomorrow is a chest CT.  

What other test should I get done.  I lose my health insurance in 10 days!!
Im losing faith that we will figure this out in time.
