I've had blood in my stool for years. i've had hemorrhoid problems for a while but it has always been bright red. chance of rectal cancer?

Low: Why have you not gotten treated for hemorrhoids? You can lose enough blood from these to become anemic. Please see your doctor for treatment and s/he can check you for rectal cancer as well.
