Chronic symptoms: Your symptoms appear chronic and definitely need to be further investigated. An infection does not appear likely. While your family history is suggesting a malignancy, your symptoms are not typical of cancer, but rather alternate conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease. Work up will be best directed under the care of a gastroenterologist who can also perform tests as needed.
