Cancer symptoms?

E55
Hi,
I've had symptoms for nearly 9 weeks now and getting seriously fed up as it is affecting my daily life. Been to the doctors 3 times and had 3 different blood tests, most recent tests have been normal. Last year, I had an operation to remove my appendix and I had some pain similar to stomach pain I'm having recently but it disappeared last year after a couple of weeks.
Two doctors have thought it was glandular fever although a test was negative,
Symptoms include:
- weakness, inability to carry out every day tasks
- General feeling of being unwell
- swollen/enlarged tonsils for weeks
- aching neck and sometimes face
- severe itching in armpits
- general itchy skin - particularly armpits, neck, stomach
- pain, where I previously had appendix operation on the right, but also on the left
- sometimes pain on left of back
- occasional bleeding when brushing teeth
- sometimes have irregular bowel movements
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

No they didn't as they just presumed it was a glandular fever type thing so said to wait and see if symptoms clear but they haven't.

Did any of your doctors provide prescription medication for any of the symptoms?  If not, why not.  The symptoms don't strike me as "move on" issues that do not require any careful analysis and recommendations.
