Urgent referral after CT scan results - does this mean I have cancer?

I've just received a phone call from my local hospital because of results from a CT scan which covered my pelvis area. The caller said I was being referred as an urgent appointment (in 5 days time) and I'm really worried. Does this mean I have cancer. I haven't had any symptoms but I have had very low vitamin d levels so have had a bit of bone pain.
