Recheck counts: Your Hematocrit is a bit low. But this does not imply it is due to cancer. There are many causes for mild Anemia(your diagnosis). I would advise you to recheck it and if the value declines, then you must see a doctor and make sure there is no blood loss like from a GI cancer(colon cancer can present this way).
