MO Recommendation/endocrine therapy

Options

I also posted this on the ILC forum but realize this gets more traffic. Hope that's okay.

Hello. I'm entering the phase of this journey -- post-surgery -- where I'm investigating all avenues for endocrine therapy. Briefly, I'm been prescribed tamoxifen, have been taking for about 3 weeks without issue. All MOs seems to want to throw tamox at us. ;) Not that it's not a good choice. However, I feel I may be a little in the "sweet spot" with choices due to age/questionable M status. I've spoken to two MOs. Have had hormones tested. I am peri-M (have been for years suspected) and some hormonal blood work leads to believe could be menopausal. Supposed to test again in 6 months.

Not that I am opposed to Tamox. Just want to investigate ovarian suppression and AI possibilities with more detailed discussion than I've had yet. I'm also intrigued by information about bone-building phosphates possibly being beneficial for curbing bone mets. I am a very small frame and would likely need these with AIs. I just had a bone density test as well. Not back yet.

Anyone have a recommendation for a great MO, preferably one who knows ILC? I am fine to travel. I have all tests and would love to have a robust discussion. I did not do chemo due to Oncotype score (14) and want to ensure I'm doing the most with endocrine therapy.

Thanks!
