My girlfriend Shannon keeps finding "lumps" to me they feel like normal breast tissue, so we kind of have this debate.... If these lumps are being caused be tumorous tissue ( cancerous or not ) what will they feel like, Hard or Soft?

There are many different kinds of "lumps" in a breast. They can be caused by many things other than cancer. My suggestion would be to have a complete breast exam by a proffessional and go from there. You may be sent for imaging and perhaps biopises if there was any question about the lumps. A lot of women have very fiborous breasts which can often feel lumpy, hormones play a part -oh the list goes on. If you are still having your debate I would suggest having the exam and getting an answer.
