Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
YOu should do gastroscopy and rule out esophageal cancer. It cant be just "said". This is serious and it must be treated immidiately. SO I dont think you have cancer. YOu have severe gastritis which could cause ulcer bleeding and dark stool. Your other symptoms can be related to this or caused by anxiety. SO you must take antiacid medicines, follow gastroprotective diet and do frequent gastroscopy check ups.
Wish you good health.
