What Causes Persistent White Spots In The Mouth?
It needs to be evaluated for other causes too
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through.
Based on the history you have shared, and keeping in view the history of diabetes it also needs to be evaluated for local sores due to fungal or other infective causes and cultures alongwith biopsy would have been the right choice though biopsy earlier is of value to rule out malignant causes.
Hope it will turn out to be a benign sore as chances of having a malignant lesion are stil low based on the brief duration and other associated symptoms. It can be as low as 10 percent at this moment and as far as your other query is concerned, I hope it won't go to that verge but still to answer the query the survival rate is as high as 80-90 percent at five years from diagnosi, if it is localised and 50-60 percent if it's spread to distant organs.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
