Unkown: Your liver problem has nothing to do with the breast. Impossible to predict the biopsy result without seeing mammogram , ultrasound etc.

Usually not: Those other issues have nothing to do with your chance of having breast cancer. At 35, luckily breast cancer is unusual. Also most biopsies are benign. A lot depends upon your risk factors like family history...

Patience: Have to wait for the pathology from the breast biopsy.

The probability: of a suspicious lesion seen on imaging being a cancer depends on various imaging features. It can range from 3-99%, so it is impossible to tell how likely yours is to be malignant without more information. Across the board, about 75% of biopsies turn out benign. The level of suspicion is summarized in the BIRADS code at the end of the report.
