Hello..
There can be multiple reasons for blood in sputum
Like
Bronchitis
TUberculosis
Bleeding disorder
Cancer etc
So it has to be properly evaluated by a general physician and swab for culture may be done if necessary
Treatment will be planned accordingly
It need not always be a cancer..don't worry
If you have anymore questions I would be happy to answer
Take care
