1 :
Calcified changing to cancer is very low chances. Actually, impossible.
2 :
A calcified granuloma is the result of damage to the tissue, usually from an infection. So if you had TB or a fungus or something. It is mistaken for cancer in chest x-rays but it can't "turn into" cancer. I hope this helps!
3 :
The odds are close to zero. Granulomas are similar to a scar that is caused by an injury to the lung from an infection or some type of particle you breathed in. If a granuloma is calcified, then its almost impossible for it to become cancerous. Calcified granulomas are usually caused by a previous fungal infection in the lungs (histoplasmosis).

All three answers are correct, so don't worry be happy God bless.
