Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Cancer is not the first thing to think of. It sounds more like liver disease and further tests are necessary to rule out hepatitis,cirrhosis or enlarging of this cyst.
Shoulder and neck pain may be related to arthritis or spine compression and you need to do mri spine to evaluate this. Platelet count is affected in some liver and hematological diseases but it will be symptomatic only if less than 50 000. so you should do at least ct scan of abdomen,viral markers and liver biopsy if necessary. Also check for autoimmune and rheumatoid diseases.
Wish you good health. Regards.
