PLEASE HELP! My girlfriend has been getting worse.

I have no idea what is wrong with her. I have known her for 2 years and she has always gotten sick a lot, with occasional panic attacks at night, back pain, and indigestion. She has always been more on the sedentary side and she has had an unhealthy diet in the past (no breakfast, processed foods, many sugary drinks).

Here lately in the past two months or so, she has developed a nasty cough that isn't going away, she wakes up a lot of nights and throws up what she ate that day, and she is feeling very fatigued. She has been trying to diet better (less/no sodas, eating breakfast occasionally, eating all-around better choices of food) and has been doing cardio workouts multiple times a week.

I am just worried that she has cancer that is beginning to spread throughout her body. She doesn't like to see doctors, and even when she does go, she doesn't get much help considering she doesn't have health insurance. Most of the time the doctors just dismiss her with a "hope you feel better" attitude.

Also, before I knew her, she was tested multiple times for her panic attacks that were serious at the time. Doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her. Again, I don't know if that's because of incompetence do to lack of health insurance, or what...

Someone please help me. Even if you can only slightly relate to just one point that I made, I would love to hear your input. I just want my girlfriend to be happy and healthy.

EDIT: I forgot to add that she has a lump under her armpit. It fluctuates in size and it has been painful. It had been there for over a year; she dismissed it as something that was caused by a metal bra strap, but I think it could be much worse.
