Elevated inflammatory markers

Back in December last year I had a blood test that showed very high inflammation markers. Did a repeat test to check a few weeks ago and they’re still high.
Doc just ordered yet another set of bloods to check for RA and lupus, and said if that comes back clear i’d Need a full body scan.
I am absolutely paralyzed with fear right now. My mother died from breast cancer when I was 12 and I’ve felt like a ticking time bomb ever since. All my googling points to dire things. I honestly feel like this is it.
Has anyone else had this and it turned out to be not so serious?

Do you have any symptoms like pain and stiffness? If that's the case, where is it located? Is it your C-reactive protein that's elevated?

Usually high inflammatory markers would indicate infection or inflammatory disease but even a flu can get them higher.
