Cancer?

I posted here a while ago about the symptoms I'd been having, pain behind sternum since January which hasn't responded to high dose ppi treatment. The pain has become more regular but no more intense, I don't feel like I have any problems swallowing. I've been fat tracked for gastroscipy on the 3rd of June due to symptoms not responding.

The last three nights I've had night sweats, I was concerned about cancer when I was referred but I'm now convinced that's what I have due to the night sweats. Has anyone else had sweats and symptoms like this that didn't turn out to be cancer?

I've also switched from Lansoprazole to Esomeprazole twice daily, could this be the cause? I haven't had any weight loss or extreme fatigue just the sweats.

Thanks
