? & ? & NO: Don't know how you can see white spots on your lungs? Weird veins growing in your mouth? Veins don't "grow." they are there or they aren't and they aren't "weird." tonsil stones are very common and not associated with cancer.

Unusual stuff: Holly. These are unusual things, and fairly vague. You should seek a health care professional to further evaluate this.

Hard to say: Those problems could be unrelated , holly. Tonsillolith of tonsil stone is pretty common condition and that can give you problems with bad breath -but not cancer. Veins growing in your mouth could be a superficial blood vessels on the inner lining of your cheek -and that could be normal as well. But, i think you should see your doctor and discuss with him/her your concern and go from there.
