Probably normal : There is no sense guessing without a lot more information . Please contact your primary care provider to see how this applies to you.

Mucus: This can be normal secretion of mucus even if the area is diverted based on your cancer history you should be scoped if that has not been done recently.

Wondering if I'm wiping too aggressively when I pass stool. I like to make sure I clean out my anus well. But I think I might be wiping too deep inside me. Can you push too far inside and irritate the rectum? I'm noticing faint blood marks on the TP?
