Do not panic. Consult the primary doctor who had removed the polyp. Blood in stool is not normal. Need to know whether it is fresh blood or altered. There are medicines to control bleeding and good endoscopy intervention. Report says it is a precancerous condition and base is free.
Next Steps
Consult your primary doctor. Get a colonoscopy done. Meet a Surgical Oncologist and a Gastroenterologist
