No, it isn't: His cancerous lesion cannot be spread to you. I hope that he is treating the situation and that he will be ok...

Not contagious: But requires immediate treatment. Your boyfriend should be under the care of both an oral surgeon and an oncologist. Treatment cannot be put off even a short while. Make sure he follows the instructions he is given to the letter.
