What does normal breast tissue feel like?

Now I'm peri-menopausal I'm checking my breasts regularly. I feel confident checking them visually, but I get so confused with the physical feel of them.

I have quite a lot of lumps and bumps in mine, which I'm pretty sure is normal breast tissue/milk glands. They fluctuate depending on my (irregular) cycle.

Would I know a potentially cancerous lump if I felt it?

I am in the same boat, I once got a check, that drs all seem concerned about but when it was scanned he declared “you just have lumpy breasts” 😂😭 it makes me nervous when checking them though as what’s lumpy and what’s an actual lump. I think in our situation we just have to try and feel for what feels new/different
