Q: Do I Have Multiple Cancers

Hello, over the last year i've cycled through a lot of symptoms that could point to leukemia, skin cancer, and even a back tumor. Just please help me out here, i'm not a hypocondriac, this is true.

First, I have ringing ears - constant headaches - and fatiqued for years now

what first made me worry is I spat up blood in the morning for a few days over the summer, not much just a couple spits. Than I never had that happen to me again.

From that point i've been sweating a lot more, fatiqued, muscle aches, low energy tolerance, bleeding gums, and sores in the mouth. I'm in great shape I think, i'm only 19. This led me to think leukemia, I got blood tested for anemia and came up negative, also I got a hyda scan and my gall bladder isn't working. That's where the pains was the sharpest, but now the pain exists solely in the kidney sections on both sides.

However what's happened in the last month is i've had a few moles start to bleed and scab over, something that hasn't happened for years. I don't think i've had any new moles or changed moles so melanoma's a slim chance. Than I think skin cancer. Parts of my skin on the forehead seems to be getting oily and crusting over a bit. I haven't recently been tested for this, it's one of the things i'm going to do this thanksgiving.

Currently my lymph nodes under my jaw are swollen, and I usually have a metallic taste in my mouth. I still have constant headaches and the weirdest thing was one of my nipples secreted a tiny amount of clear liquid, very tiny. And the tips of my pecs are starting to hurt a little, there is a little crusting on my nipples also. The crusting comes and goes for the last few years. I do have sun damage on my shoulders.

But bottomline is, is it possible I have multiple cancers, and if so what do you think they are. I'm in college away from home and it's impossible to check things here so I have to wait till my breaks. Just give it to me straight, please.

Also I fogot to mention in the last month i've had these 2 clusters of pea size redish sections on the bottom of both my scapulas. First I noticed it on my right side, than my left, and it comes and goes after showers. More recently it hasn't happened as often as it used to. I was under the impression petachaie was little dots, so i'm not sure if they can be as big as pea size.

Also i've had a few hard lumps around my ears that eventually I punctured them with nail clippers and drained some of the puss. They eventually went away, that's why i'm thinking they were just hair follicle infections.

And the oddest symptom i've had is that one morning I woke up and found about 4 massive pimples on my left leg, I popped them and boy did they hurt. A few days later I started to get them regularly about 1-2 every couple days on my legs and thighs, although most recently it's died down for the most part.
