What does a C-Reactive Protein level of 15.5 mean?

Physician Responded

22, female, white, 5'8 and 250lbs in Virginia. No current mediations. I've been working on getting tested for irritable bowel disorder and had a bunch of lab tests done. Everything came back looking pretty normal except my CRP level was marked as high (15.5mg/L). I'm going to see my doctor soon but I want some more context on what exactly that means. The internet is trying to tell me I have cancer or something so I'm trying not to panic.
