Hi @daddyof4, I'm really glad that you posted your concerns here on Mayo Clinic Connect. I totally get the irrational need to avoid symptoms and at the same time fear the worse. It's time to see your doctor. It might not be cancer, but even if it is, getting medical help is the best thing you can do right now - for yourself and for your family. I assume from the username that you chose that you have 4 kids. I'm sure that they want you to take care of your health. Show them the good example. Does that make sense?
