constipation produces all kinds of shapes and consistency in stool. Try, adequate fluid intake, roughage in diet including salads, exercise, OTC psyllium and Miralax to see if you can become regular yourself . If that does not work see a GI MD. Cancer is not the usual reason. Hope you feel better

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
