Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query
First of all why was the test asked for?
What were your symptoms?
Are you taking any medication or having any medical condition?
There are many causes for occult blood in stool other than cancer but I would like you to provide this information, so that I can help you with specific advice.
Few benign causes include diverticular diseases, ulcer, ulcerative colitis, crohns disease, polyps, and less common include haemorrhoids, anal fissure.
If they have asked for colonoscopy after month or so, that means based on the clinical examination you do not have anything serious.
Hope this helps
Take care
