Hi Steelkey77,

So, this has been going since March with nothing new and nothing changed? No other symptoms? There's a wide variety of things that could be causing this and the majority are not cancer. It's been going on for a while and there's no big deal telling your doctor. You can start narrowing down the causes by a visit. Getting answers will give you peace of mind.

Another thing to think about is if there are any hereditary health issues running in your family? This is also good information for your doctor to know.

I do wish you the best and hope you do get it checked out. It can put you on that path to being well sooner and you can move on.

Thank you,
