My senior pitbull has lumps, coughs, and vomited blood. Is it cancer?

Question

My 10yr old Male pitbull is not well. Has a mass in his testicle sack and one growing on his side. He has been coughing on and off for several months. Lastnite he was coughing really bad and started vomiting blood. Lots of blood. This continued for about an hour. He seems to be in good spirits this morning, just kinda of worn out. Does this sound like cancer? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | 9 years and 7 months old | 70 lbs

Yes, these signs are quite concerning and could be related to a tumor. As a first step, I would suggest that these lumps/growths should be ideally examined by your veterinarian to have a definitive diagnosis. Your vet will examine it and possibly perform with an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy. Differentials would include skin cyst, infections or benign or malignant type of tumors.
