Wtf

Where do I begin. Been looking around on here for a while and right now I'm in full blown panic mode and absolutely convinced at 31 years of age I have either stage IV CRC or Stomach cancer. My symptoms are as follows
All of these symptoms started appearing roughly 3 weeks ago this should be everything I'm suffering with
I had an episode towards the end of July where I had this pain run up the back of my neck and hung around for a couple not days before subsiding but comes in once in a while with a headache (I forgot to mention this to my doctor on Monday)
1. Poor appetite, kind of, I do get incredibly hungry like last night I devoured half a pizza in under 10 minutes. Some weight loss, since it all started I want from 190 to currently 184 last got weighed on Monday at the doctors office
2. Sometimes fullness of the stomach especially after I eat
3. Bloating
4. Excessive flatulence no real change in smell, at least from what I can tell, increased burping
5. Bowel movements are all over the place no sign of blood from what I can see but there is mucus from time to time but only really saw it on the TP and Did have a few "sticky" stool also a I do get sometimes the urge to have or finish a bowel movement even though I already did, and when something comes out it looks like how it should sausage shape and all just smaller
6. I have seen an uptick in my urination but it looks as normal as it should be tinge in any capacity
7.the past few days I've been finding myself waking up in the middle of the night and unable to go back to sleep (I'm so tired)
8. And my newest issue, which just started this morning of post this I got hit by two really be rough waves of nauesa at work that almost caused me to vomit everywhere, but at least it subsided, somewhat it really hasn't interfered with my eating I'm at lunch right now typing this up and feeling ok enough to eat some food but a wave of nauesa has washed over me. It's almost to the point I don't want to eat for fear of vomiting
My doctor thinks I'm just dealing with a an anxiety episode and it should subside and has me on the generic version of Laxepro which take a few weeks to activate, and wants me to check back in a month with him. I trust him implicitly because he's been my GP literally my entire life, but I'm just convinced it's not and it's eating at me. "What if he is wrong" "my symptoms aren't getting better and I'm scared" everything put me in to a panic at one point and made me go to urgent care where they couldn't find anything and just chalked it up to dr. Google and my CBC came back normal.
Speaking of dr.google I did a search for loss of appetite which happened after I had a couple of really intense salivary gland spasms( I'm no stranger to the spams I've had them before but these two two days in a row where intense) and Dr Google sent me down the cancer rabbit hole and so far alot of symptoms I've seen have at some point started to appear like bloating loss of appetite weight loss excessive gas and burping fullness of the stomach usually after eating now nauesa. No aniema or fatigue
it's making me insane scared and it's literally affecting my daily life, I've spent more time obsessing over this than being with my girlfriend or Friends, I haven't gone out for 3 weeks I just spend time at home on forums I probably shouldn't be on and looking at articles. It's even starting to effect work people have made comments about the 180 in my personality
Do you folk have any suggestions? Thanks
