Depends on your age : And family history. BCA is mostly a disease of the elderly. Worst case scenario is that it turns out to be cancer, but if so you caught it very early and it will be cured! Giving an estimate of these odds is pointless because for you they are either 0% or 100%. Relax you are going to be fine!
