scared i have pancreatic cancer

Im a 29 y/o male and suffer really bad health anxiety which im on sertraline and taking councilling sessions For. The past month r two have been a tough ride for me as ive totally convinced myself i have pan cancer. and been totaly petrofide. Ive been having some stomach and back issues nothing major which the pains are just about gone but after a number of doctor and hospital visits and all docs tellin me is its stress anxiety and ibs i finally got a doc who listened to me and she done some bloods which come back normal apart from one which was only slightly elevated which was my biliburin so she asked me to do another one which come back the same, baring in mind inbetween both of these tests i went to a and e and had perfectly normal blood tests. anyway while all this was happening my doc said she wouldnt normally do this in my situation but she wanted to put my mind at rest because i was scared so she sent me for a ultrasound scan which results have come back and the results said that there was nothing serious seen apart from one of my bile ducts were slightly bigger then the other. but because they couldnt see the pancreas because of bowel gas and me being worried about my pancreas she has reffered me to a ct scan which kinda freaked me out but she doesnt think theres gonna be anything wrong and thinks its still got alot to do with my anxiety. I asked i said but what about my biliburin level and this bile duct she said not to worry she says you could just actually have a slightly bigger bile duct then the other and as for the biliburin level its just the same as last time just slightly high so we have to do more blood tests to rule out other things like hepititus ect. Which ive just had done today shes quite confident that the ct scan is going to come back fine and she says i could even have gilberts syndrome. They say they are just doing this to be on the safeside and because ive mentioned pain But i asked her just before i left your not just saying this are you and she said no im not just saying all this just to make u feel better i honestly think everything is going to be fine and try not to worry. Ive been petrofied with this lately but dont know if this sertraline is playing a part as ive only been taking it for 2 weeks and the last week ive been worrying myself reading things on pan cancer and says you can have symptoms before jaundice kicks in such as pale clay coloures poo which i dont have but it has been a bit on the light side maybe some yellow but ive had alot of yellow mucous like poos in the past becauae of my ibs which the doc thinks so to. Also u an have an itch and guess what as soon as i seen it ive started to itch not alot just bits on a night and also im bloated which is worrying me to. I know alot of these things can also be anxietyrelated which im a massive baby when it comes to health anxiety and i know im on early days with sertraline which wierdly enough the itchy and poo syptoms started happening when i started taking it. but im still a mess and worried stiff cant sleep and when i do i wake up sweating. I know what im thinking it is and my doc has told me that its the last thing on her mind. Its weird coz ive been panicin thinking im losing alot of weight which im not and also the pain in stomach has been gone a while now the main reason i went in the first place. Sorry to rant but its hard at the moment thanks for ur patience
