did they give any explanation as to what it could be caused from? I know that stress and anxiety can do that.
what do you mean when you say the doctors keep putting it off?

Sorry to hear this, can understand how this will be impacting your mental health.
I don't think the anxiety forum is best placed to answer your question specifically, however from what you have described by the tests you have had and the different specialists you have seen, it does seem unlikely that a tumor would have been missed.
Do you wear glasses or have ever been advised to wear glasses? Anxiety certainly won't help, it'll make symptoms worse. What do you mean by they 'keep putting it off'?
