I think I have cancer

I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis (age 50) and my full blood count showed low iron and folic acid.  Also my liver and kidney function was out.  I have have had blood when wiping after stool.  Back spasms and pain in my back which I thought were due to my RA and leg length discrepancy.  I have had both my hips replaced.  I have also had bladder issues.  Peeing to much and not making the toilet on time.  I am terrified I have stage 4 cancer.  I can't sleep or function properly.  Just waiting on my FIT test results.  I am so anxious and stressed that I have cancer.  I have two kids age 18 & 13 and I can't ever imagine not being here for them.
