You mention that you'll have to rely on your PCP for physical breast exam if you don't find a less-dismissive (my words) oncologist. I've always found ob/gyns to be very well-trained in checking for breast irregularities and lumps. Do you have one you like? If so, consider having her/him do the exams. And maybe refer you to a different oncologist.

Lobular can be harder to find with a breast exam because it may not present as a lump, from what I have been told. Check with a doc you can find that you trust.
