We are a self contained system that will deal abnormalities when we are adequately rested, eating good food and laughing a lot. You are correct in your assertion of the weaker immune system leading to cancer....
2 :
How about smoking as a cause? It contributes to ~80% of lung cancer, though may act in concert with other factors, both acquired (asbestos for example) or hereditary (genetic factors), to increase/magnify the risk. Your immune system doesn't have to be weak to develop cancer, just fooled.
3 :
There could be many mutated cells in the body where cancer might start.The lungs have a greater chance of developing cancer.Thees are the possible reasons (1) The cancer develops quicker in the lungs as the lung cells get more oxygen than the rest of the body and cancer grows better in a more oxygenated part of the human body. (2) We breath in toxic chemicals every day.A lot of theses chemicals are absorbed by the lung cells.There is a greater chance that one or more of theses toxic chemicals may either mutate a lung cell or effect a lung cell to turn into cancer. (3) Some other lung diseases like TB,cystic fibrosis and asthma make contribute to the development of cancer in the lung cell.These diseases weeken the immune systerm in the lung area leaving the lungs open to attack if cancer starts.

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.

First of all, that's why it's an experimental cancer treatment. They don't know the side effects yet. That only happens when they get people who are willing to take part in the trials. You get the drug for free, then they monitor you carefully for any reaction. That's where the side effects come in. Any and all side effects no matter how bad or not bad they are must be recorded. If they test this drug on say, 100 people and only 1 out of the 100 experiences something strange, it still has to be recorded as a possible side effect. So you probably tried to look this drug up on line and found nothing and you won't, no one will because it is just and experimental treatment right now. This is why they can't even tell the public right now of any possible side effects because the test are not completed. Are you going to take part in this trial?
2 :
If you have been asked to take part in a trial, request the patient information document. In fact you should already have been given a copy. this should contain a list of all known side effects and their frequency. If you are not satisfied, ask the doctor what he knows from the investigator brochure. Also ask him about the side effects of some other standard treatments for a comparison.
