Lung Cancer

Hi

I have been smoking for the past 10 years and 12 cigarettes on each day average.

I am now  in Europe. Some 6 weeks before, i had a very bad irritation in my nose and when i tried to clean my nose some little very< little blood came and 5 weeks before, i tried to find out whether some blood is coming from my mouth too, so i did a deep breathe and tried to take the sputum out for 6 times, 7th time when i did deeply some blood came in the sputum, Not sure whether its blood or RED wine which had some 20 minutes before this experience ( but after having RED wine i had my dinner and drank water too). So i went to the doctor and the docctor took blood check up, and checked lungs with sethescope and heart ECG and told u r normal. And i also went to lung specialist and told and he saw the report which was given by doctor and said ok and also took lung capacity test, But the lung capacity test was not normal according to the nurse there, but doctor said its not abnormal and no need to worry.

I am still afraid. Any suggestions please?
