Could The Heavy Bleeding At The Age Of 85 Be Due To Cancer?

If you blood work come bak ok can you still have cancer? 81 year old mother started bleeding like a heavy period 3 days ago and 195/90 bld pressure. Her pap was just recently done and was fine they say it is not that area had hyst years ago. They can not tell where the blood is coming from. Her father had kidney or bladder cancer. They are taking her to emerg room to see oncolgy doc on call due to losing so much bld. Concern is my grandfather having the cancer cld this be what is going on with her.
