Is it possible that stools came back to normal size if i had colon cancer with intake of probiotics, healthier diet and a lot of fiber rich food.

Is it normal for one stool to be two shades of brown? (looks like milk and dark chocolate was mixed). Have been increasing fiber and probiotic intake recently.
