Read your query.
Bleeding gums is usually to the gingival inflammation (gums infection) , the major cause is due to the improper maintainable if the oral cavity.
It cannot be cancer unless and until confirmed , so relax and do not worry.
I would advice you to visit your local dentist and have your teeth professionally cleaned and polished .
Follow the post cleaning instructions and maintain it well to avoid re bleeding.
Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while.
Brush your teeth regularly and do flossing.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding in the gums could be because of the gum infection, or any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders.
If any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint.
if pulp polyp is there then get it root canal treated.
If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician.
Nothing to worry, it cannot be cancer.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
