It’s unlikely for a colonoscopy to miss cancer of the areas of intestine that a colonoscopy covers , but there could be many other causes of blood in stool and altered bowel habits as you have mentioned . May I please know you history in detail , could you please share your stool routine examination and colonoscopy reports
