Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
No, your symptoms do not point to any consideration of a cancer.
Need not worry, the symptoms you have could be due to gastritis.
I recommend you to get a Upper gastro intestinal endoscopy. This will help in finding out the real cause for loss of appetite.
Wish you god health.

No
