Grandma has blood in stoll and has stage one colon cancer


Grandma has blood in stoll and has stage one colon cancer?
She just had a colonoscopy and they took some of it and it is cancer but they did more test and it is only stage one! But she has not been able to poop for days and now she poop today and there was blood that's what she told me! Could it just be from the colonoscopy? She will be getting it removed soon and can't be able to tell the doctor 2morrow!

Unless she has cancer in a polyp that could not be completely removed there is no way they know the stage from a colonoscopy. She should not be bleeding and should call her doctor.
2 :
If they know it's stage one, they probably already received the pathology report from the sample taken during the colonoscopy. Bleeding after a colonoscopy with polyp removal is not uncommon. This should be minor bleeding, and she should call her doc in the morning. If the bleeding seems major, she should go to the emergency room.
