Dear Anjolive,
From your history, it seems you are having pain/burning in anal area, worse while defecation and when you sit. This symptom is usually caused when a person has a tear in the anal area known as anal fissure. At times the fissure may not be seen on inspection.
The treatment involves sitting in a warm water for 20 min (sietz bath), application of lignocaine jelly before and after defecation to ease pain, and stool softener like lactulose. In case of no response, diltiazem local application and surgical procedure is option.
From your history and symptoms, the likelihood of cancer appears very less.
Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
