Lung cancer grows for a long time before the symptoms show up, and then it's too late. It's a nasty little fuck. Maybe his coughing until puking when smoking weed is a canary in the coal mine, and he should pay attention to this dead bird.

Does he get regular physicals at least?

Perhaps I'm being alarmist. Maybe he's fine. Generally, though, ignoring a health problem doesn't make it go away.
Not alarmist at all. His primary care physician kinda blew it off. He's trying to find a pulmonologist.
