Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your son was on warfarin chances of altered coagulation profile are high as a cause of bloody stool. But at the same time we need to rule out recurrence of malignancy as he is having ulcers too. So you should definitely take him to the ER. Stop warfarin immediately.  Get done PT (Prothrombin Time) to see for any alteration in coagulation profile. Also get done colonoscopy to rule out recurrence of colon cancer. If PT is altered than he needs it k injection to stop the bleeding.
