Hello
Thanks for the question.
I would be pleased to answer your query .

With the history of the Cancers that you have got , and present complaint of coughing out blood it would be essential to make sure that you get yourself checked .
It would be an absolute necessity to get yourself examined by the physician .
A test like a Laryngoscopy or CT scan or MRI would have to be done .

Thanks
