Hi @Artferret
Sorry to hear everything is piling up.
The oncology appointments may be a non event if you don't have all the info on your status because you need more surgery. Mind you, I'm only guessing there and you have to meet them at some stage anyway
The oncs will talk to you about what sort of treatments they think are appropriate and what the statistics say about how effective those treatments may be.
Medical oncologists are the ones who manage all the medical stuff directly connected with your cancer. They will talk to you about the tamoxifen and explain how it works and what may be appropriate if, for some reason, it doesn't agree with you (ask about that) if you were having chemo, the med onc would be your doctor through that process. BTW, your GP can prescribe the tamoxifen in the future.
The rad onc only looks after you if you have radiotherapy. I'm guessing this will be the time to discuss your involvement in the trial.
Don't be surprised if you have to go back and see them after your next surgery. Good luck with it all. Marg
