Should I worry about stomach cancer from acute gastritis that lasted 2-3 weeks?

Symptoms of severe burning gastritis lasted 2-3 weeks after eating salty processed food, and induced vomiting after felt sick.
Wasn't able to eat or drink to much the first week stomach was inflamed
I still get a light burning after I eat, but not as much as before. This is the 3rd week since having it
Doctor did endoscopy 17 days into it and said my stomach looked normal, but I still feel slight burning
My main concern is stomach cancer now as this was really bad inflammation for 2 weeks straight
Would this be considered acute gastritis? 2-3 weeks

No.  The most important thing is to make sure that you don't have h pylori infection, which will lead to chronic gastritis (with a small percentage ended up in gastric cancer).
