@Bettyboo I would be asking my oncologist why Tamoxifen and not an AI. And yes, the oncologist should be writing you your prescription. If you aren't happy with the care you receive from your onc, go back to your breast surgeon or GP and ask for a referral to a new one.
You don't have to be alone in this. One thing about BC is that this year it will be the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. There are a LOT of services out there for us. Check out the Look Good Feel Better workshops, the Otis Foundation, the Encore programme. Contact your local Cancer Council to see what they've got available in your area.
Have you given the BCNA helpline a call? I truly think that's a good place for you to start. Hang in there, K xox
