Aggie, if it was me I'd be going straight back to my GP or breast surgeon and asking for a referral to a different oncologist (and yes, as @Zoffiel says, one at a different practice). I am a little uncertain about my onc and am toying with the idea of doing the same.
We're all different with how much stomach we have for 'the fight'. It's often dependent on what else is happening in our lives at the time. You can elaborate on why you you want a change, or you could just say it's an important ongoing relationship and you're not comfortable with her. Write the letter of complaint, or not. The most important thing at this juncture is that you get the best care for you, and to do that you need to have confidence in your medical team. Get settled with a new onc and maybe report the old one then.
Good luck, and let us know what you decide.
