Have I got rectal cancer?

[Toby2000]

Breathe, Toby. As others have said, they wouldn't be offering a telephone appointment for anything really serious, they'd want to see you in person.

Something tells me that this would be serious for an older person (at risk of colon cancer) but not serious for a younger person because it's rare for younger people, although it can obviously happen. Oh I can't believe this.

...except you'd have jaundice or you'd be really really weak all the time or something.

EDIT: don't Google jaundice please

But I do have faint yellow marks on my chest that seem to be slowly spreading across my abdomen. I've had these for at least a full year, maybe two, but recently I've seen more small spots of them around my abdomen like I say.

I'm not sure if it's jaundice but it could be related (I don't need to google it to know what it is, I've been there before with jaundice-related worries!)

EDIT:

Here's a photo of the marks: https://imgur.com/a/7zeoQtT

It's safe for work and everything and you can't see my face etc
