My poop has been abnormal for 10 days and I'm terrified I have colon cancer or bowel cancer.

For the last ten days my poop has been real soft and light brown like the colimageor of peanut butter which is not normal for me. There is a history of colon cancer in my family and I have had pre cancers polyps removed during colonoscopies in the past. I have severe anxiety disorder and I am freaking out right now because I am terrified about having colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. I called my gastroenterologist today when she told me she wants me to come in and see her this coming Monday. I can't help to think that she wants me to come in so soon because she thinks it might be something serious. I've been closed a few pictures of what my poop has been looking like. has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? any information will be helpful.
