Hello,

I have studied your case.
Chances of Tumour can be commented by looking at blood investigation and biopsy reports

As you are having this problem since long years so possibility of tumour is less.

If tumour is suspected PET scan will help in diagnosis along with biopsy.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
