Not likely: What you described is neither suggestive of cancer nor does it exclude it. You may wish to ask your doctor for a stool test for blood.
If your doctor advises getting a colonoscopy, that would be a good investigation.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
