9. As one who has Crohns relatively mildly: CRP is one of the main tests used for how that is going

If someone who is known to have Crohns has a high CRP, that's far more likely to indicate a relapse, or general severity, of the Crohns, than anything to do with cancer.

I don't know very much about parathyroid conditions, but I HAVE heard that Crohns can cause parathyroid problems, probably through interfering with absorption of vitamin D and calcium.

So, while obviously you need to get medical advice and help for this, I would guess that both problems are most likely due to the Crohns rather than to cancer.
