Do you want to wait for it to progress to that point (where they bleed) to find out you might have something more serious to get looked into? By then... it may be a lot more of intensive procedure than a simple colonoscopy.

If they were just looking for blood in the stool, this test wouldn't cost $600 and require the samples be taken the way they are. They are testing for a lot more than just some blood.
