Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Coughing of blood may be seen due to many reasons. Cancer in lung or tuberculosis both can leads to coughing of blood. You should go for X ray chest or CT scan of chest. It will give you exact diagnosis. IF you have any mass lesion in your lung then there is chance of cancer. then you should go for biopsy. Then you start treatment accordingly. Avoid smoking and alcohol.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
