Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
White patches in the mouth and spreading .
May be due to candida infection or fungal infection or due to tobacco .
Consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is very important .
However I can say one thing, after reading your history of illness, that these symptoms are not an indication of oral cancer .
Get rid of tobacco and take care of mouth.
Clenorush gel may provide some relief.
Good luck.
