Hi,
Sorry to hear about his condition. Cough of prolong duration along with blood always need proper and urgent assessment. while ca lung is one possibility but there are other more common causes like infection, TB, bronchiectasis, and many more. So he should be urgently taken to doctor for proper work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
