Suggest Treatment For Blood Vomiting

He has thrown up blood 3 times the 1st was a year ago the 2nd four months and the 3rd was today. He went to the doctors today before he threw up and she told him it could either be stomach cancer or blood cancer. She ran test and the results will be here in 2 days but I was wondering if there is any thing else it may be other than these 2 cancers & if these 2 cancers have cures for them?
