Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. It can be signed of cancer but in most cases it is not. There are many other possible and more common causes of blood in stool including radiotherapy which damage colon mucosa. If this is her only symptom then she may have hemorrhoids, polyps or some other benign lesion. If there is pain or other stool changes, this may be something more serious and further evaluation is necessary. Wish you good health. Regards
