Does a breast cancer lump usually feel like a single ball or several small round masses clumped together


Does a breast cancer lump usually feel like a single ball or several small round masses clumped together?
If you or someone you know has had breast cancer, did the lump feel like a single round hard ball, or did it feel like several small round masses clumped close together like many peas?

Seeing how I'm only 15, I'll only point out that my knowledge is very dim, so just bear with me. No one in my family has ever had breast cancer (my grandmother got it, but she kept getting regular mammograms at the time, and they caught it in its earliest stages), so I'm not sure if it would be a single ball or a clump of smaller ones. What I do know is that tumors don't move with the skin. For example, if you have a mole on your arm, and you move the skin around the arm, the mole moves with it. Tumors will stay in the same place when you move the skin. If it doesn't move, then I recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible. Even if it isn't, or even if it's benign, it would be safe to have it checked out.
