What Could Cause Small Black Spot On Left Tonsil?

I have a small black spot on my left tonsil which I've had for about 8 weeks now. My tonsil is not sore or swollen and my GP says it looks like a small cyst, but I am worried it could be cancer as I used to be a smoker many years ago and have had breast cancer.
