Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bloody diarrhoea in stage 4 rectal cancer patient means worsening of rectal tumour.
Rectal tumour, without chemotherapy, grow in size and invade blood vessels.
This causes blood in stools and diarrhoea.
It can spread to stomach and cause stomach pain.
So possibility of worsening underlying rectal tumour is more for these symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query.
Thanks.
