sign of cancer?

it all happened one day i came home, just randomly got a wicked runny nose and kept sneezing, had a headache, was EXHAUSTED. felt like i had the flu. slept for 13hrs. woke up next day with canquers in my mouth ( never get them). after that for the past 3 weeks ive been having nothing but weird stabbing/sharp pains all over my head, and i never get headaches EVER. and sometimes my body. for two days my legs were in so much pain i couldnt walk. i keep coughing up yellow/brown phlegm, but i dont have a cold or sinus infection, or atleast it doesnt feel like it. ive had nonstop drowsiness, i get the right amount of sleep yet im still SO TIRED. my hips are killing me and i keep limping. sometimes when i close my eyes i have these weird eye movements ive never had before, not even like REM when i go to sleep
can some one help me? should i see a doctor?

idk if this has anything to contribute, but i had a bone marrow transplant when i was 8

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If the bone transplant was due to blood leukemia or severe anemia, then this needs to be checked first for a recurrence. In all possibility the symptoms you have could be due to a viral infection. Drink plenty of hot fluids like soups, herbal tea, warm lemonade etc. Canker sores can be due to viral fever or even due to Vit deficiency. Get an appointment with your PCP and meanwhile take acetaminophen to keep the body ache down. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Canker soars in the mouth may be realted to the condition called Stomatitis. It can be followed with flu-like symptoms, fever, body aches, chills. It is viral in nature and has to run out it's course. But, it probably be better if you see a doctor, to be more sure. Feel better!

Please consult your PCP/Family Physician ASAP!  

Was the bone marrow transplant related to Leukemia?  

I think it is something viral.
