Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. You should take it serious but you shouldn't be concerned. You are young and any cancer isn't very possible at your age. There are various conditions which cause stomach pain and bloating. Usually this is gastritis, HERD or IBD. It should be primarily treated by changing dietary habits, eat fruit, green and avoid fats, alcohol and sugar. Also, gastrostomy should be done to see degree of gastritis. Anemia is common at young woman and usually menstrual bleeding and lack of iron cause it. It can be signed of bleeding from bowel wall or tumor but it isn't the first thing to think of. If you have pain while defecating or obstipation then you should concern and do colonoscopy. If not you should take iron supplements and change dietary habits. Wish you good health.
