Is Blood In Stool Related To Cancer?

Hello, I have been having thin red blood in my stool. I am female and only 41 years old. Is it possibly cancer? I have had it since I had a hysterectomy in 2012 and have been having blood in my stool since then. I did go to the doctor and she told me it was hemmoroids and another doctor told me it was a fissure. Confused....and worried.

Sir, pseudumyxoma peritonei is a bad disease with high recurrence rates.It responds poorly to chemotherapy. Though he already underwent surgery, check whether there is chance of surgery again. most of the times surgery is not possible. options would be second line chemotherapy or palliative care alone.
