Brief Answer:
It is not a cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. I can assure you that it is not a cancer. Most probably you are having impingement of nerves or cuff in the shoulder. I would recommend you to get MRI of the shoulder. This will confirm the diagnosis. If there is impingement then it can be cured with steroid injection in the shoulder. Also physiotherapy and hot water fomentation is helpful. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
