There are many reasons for pain that have nothing to do with structural injury or cancer. Nevertheless, I would speak with your primary care doc about your concerns. If they can assure you that the full workup for cancer is complete, then I would seek alternative explanations for your pain.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. However, if you have not lost weight, cancer is less likely. Wish you good health!

We would need a description of your pain in order to better advise you. Thoracic discomfort may be of rib cage musculoskeletal origin,pulmonary, cardiac, nerve root or esophageal origin & tension and anxiety may play a role. I think your studies are reassuring about absence of malignancy. Consult a specialist in internal medicine for a good differential diagnosis& any other testing deemed appropri

You dont mention where the pain is or what activities elicit the pain or is it spontaneous unrelated to activity/ accident /trauma. Was thoracic MRI of the chest or spine? If spinal pain would do MRI of thoracic spine ( if not done) possibly cervical spine as well If in the shoulder blades consider MRI of shoulder. Consider musculoskeletal evaluation. F/U w/ MD
