Unlikely: The most sensitive finding of colon cancer is trace blood in the stool (though blood in stool can be caused by many things). So its unlikely if you have no blood in stool. With a normal CT scan, the chance of pain in the RUQ caused by colon cancer is almost 0.

Gallbladder: This sounds typical for biliary colic or gallstone disease. You should have a ultrasound of your belly. You are too young for colon cancer.
