1 :
If your uncle has either TB or lung cancer (neither caused by alcohol) he will have a chronic and persistant cough). Even a cough may well just indicate tarred lungs rather than diseased ones. Blood in the bathroom could be caused by diseased gums, or nose bleeds. Your uncle should have his blood pressure checked to be on the safe side if he is having persistent nose bleeds. he may just have a weak blood vessel that needs cauterising.
2 :
an x-ray of the chest will help.
3 :
Your first move would be to have him see a physician and have a complete physical done from the results of his test you can know for sure what is causing the nose bleeds.
