Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
A tiny spot on lung X-ray is suspicious.
A cancer is most dreaded possibility.
You will have to wait for PET scan report to know nature of the spot on X-ray.
In case the spot / lesion is approachable for FNAC or biopsy, it will help to know the exact nature of the lesion.
Thanks and take care
