Does A Lump Located On The Right Tonsil Pillar Indicate Cancer?

I have a small lump located on the right tonsil pillar. It has been there quite sometime. I am guessing about a year. It isn t bothersome so I tend to forget about it. It is smooth and flesh in color, about 1 cm. I do have a picture if it would be helpful although I don t know how to attach it. I m just wwanting to know an opinion whether it may be a sign of cancer or pre cancer? I will be getting it officially evaluted. Thank you.
