Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have problem of blood in stool that may be because of hemorroid problem or ulcerative colitis or diverticular disease or intestinal polyp or other reasons..
Don't think first about cancer...
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it...
Get well soon...
Thank you.
