Dear tuppps:  Likely the examination will include a breast examination (both sides) as well as examination of the lymph nodes as well as review of all the medical information, pathology reports and films, if applicable.  In many cases, the oncologist will do a limited physical.

Probably a quick physical exam checking for lymph nodes, and then mostly a discussion with you about whether or not hormonal or other chemotherapy would be appropriate based on what the pathology report says and other risk factors you may have-- and if appropriate, what the risks and benefits are.
