Im 31 and suffer from comstipation when i go after drinking normecol i see a hard brown jelly on the toilet paper can this be cancer?

Not likely: To address your constipation, drink enough water every day so that your urine is watery. Eat a fiber rich vegetarian diet and if that does not help take a fiber laxative like Metamucil.
