Metastic cancer is not a second cancer... the cells are identical. Just because you have a cancerous growth in your lungs does not mean that it is sarcoma or another lung cancer. The cancer cells of metastic cancer are always the same no matter where they travel in the body and that can tell you where it originated.
Yes I would believe that you can have two different types of cancer at the same time especially if one of them is a common cancer such as skin cancer.

Yes, it is possible.
cancer is a uncontrolled cell growth. It can be anywhere in body. It can spread to parts of body. Cancer can happen at multiple locations.
Blood during cancer is flooded by WBC then RBC.

IT IS EXTREMELY RARE ALTHOUGH POSSIBLE.HAVING TWO CANCERS IS DIFFERENT FROM SPREAD OF CANCER TO OTHER AREAS -KNOWN AS METASTASIS.TWO CANCERS HAVE TO BE HISTOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT.IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS LIKE HIV-AIDS PATIENTS CAN HAVE TWO CANCERS OR RARE CANCERS.
