What Are The Causes For Lactation Other Than Pregnancy?

Hello, I am 36, 5'6 and weigh 190 pounds, I recently lost some weight, I was about 198 2 weeks ago. I have seen my gyn on tuesday for being 10 weeks w/o menses, and she found I was having some slight lactation. She sent me for labs, and a few ultrasounds and a mammo, I had the bloodwork and the pelvic and transvaginal ultarsound yesterday, all bloodwork came back normal (thryroid, LH, FSH, Hcg, Prolactin etc..) the results of the pelvic and tv will come back tomorrow. When she initally examined me she said it could be anything from stress to a hormonal imbalance or cancer. I have 3 aunts who all have cancer, 1 breast, 1 ovarian, and 1 uterine....I know I have some medical problems, and I am told I am a medical anomaly due to all my previous complications with my pancreas, I go between super high chol and super low ldl...and also sometimes my insulin level is normal and other times (like now ) it's 34. But my glucose is normal at 98. I know I'm on the brink of syndrome X, could this cause lactation and missed menses? or am I looking at cancer or could this all just be stress? also, I read that a tumor on the pitutary gland could cause lactaion, would any of the labs I stated above have shown that I have such a tumor?
