Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool

I am 62 , had a colonoscopy at 55. It was good except for a ridged colon. Gasto said never again unless we use a machine. So last week my doctor had me bring a hemocult home. Today they called and told me they detected blood and I needed to go to my Gasto Doctor. Is this a sign of colon cancer? It is not in my family.
