Is Black And Gooey Stool A Cause For Concern?

65 years old. I had Colon cancer at 61. Successful tumor removal and chemotherapy. My last colonoscopy showed no pholips (spelling). I recently started taking a probiotic. (Optima Primadophilus) My stool appears black and gooey. Is this cause for concern.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have completed the course of chemotherapy and lesion being removed then it is nothing to worry about the symptom you have but it is advisable to see the oncologist on regular basis hope this information helps.
