Why Is My Friend Having Black Vomit Wild Flu Like Symptoms?

A friend of mine has had a bad cough and almost cold like symptoms for the last week and last night started vomiting black vomit. He has been to the doctor who took an x-ray which showed a shadow on his chest. Is there anything other than cancer that this could be? Thank you

HI
Thank for asking to HCM'
I really appreciate your concern for your friend just a single vomiting with the black in color may not be a sing of malignancy, and stop thinking about this, in fact the black vomiting could be due to the intake of food that might be brown in color and nothing else, take care and have a nice day.
