Scares, unwell yet normal blood work

I'm now terrified. I'm 28 and have a little boy who I'm scared I won't be there for.

I've been unwell since the start of the year. But over the past two months I've had diherea, a low grade fever that won't budge, weight loss, and sinus pain. I did also get stomach pain too. 

They riled out teavellers diherea, crohns and other bowel diseases, checked my liver, kidneys, thyroids, full blood count, celiacs, all via stool and blood samples and they're all OK. They gave me antibiotics about half a week ago as they really can't tell what's wrong. Yet my temperature is still above 37 and I'm losing weight.

I had a lump in my boob that only my partner and I can find but they said it's probably hormonal. A mole that went pusy and vanished and reappeared but they checked it with a light and said it was OK. My period is on a 21 day cycle and often has a day break in between. I'm not sure if these are relevant at all.

I just keep crying for no reason too. 

I'm just so scared and keep thinking it's got to be cancer.

    I recognize this post is from a year agai and I do hope you have found answers to your illness. If you have, could you share? I’m going through many similar things and my GP isn’t much help. I’ve had a chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound and my bloodwork is relatively normal. (Keeping in mind that for years my Platelettes have been in the red too high and at the same time I started to get an insane amount of bruising on my legs, the platelette count dropped from in the red too high to in the border of low but normal. Apparently my doctor doesn’t see a relationship between the 2). I’ve watched countless YouTube videos of cancer patients who have dealt with similar symptoms including “normal blood work etc”. Further pushing and further testing proved they had cancer many months later. Just because blood comes back normal, I wouldn’t bet money that you’re ok. I’m taking my VERY pushy older friend and neighbour with me to the Internist Appointment I have this week as she k owe I won’t be pushy enough and I need an advocate.

    Hope you are well.
