Yea that tells me what I need in total I was wondering if a specific type panel had free and total test and estrogen essay. I know cbc is a different test entirely.

I was looking for the name..like free test panel or w.e

Different labs can have different names for panels, sets of tests, etc

Cant help you there as in my country there are no panels besides the hemogram and lipidogram

online labs have test packages which will be the best deal for the money, simply check out the details of the packages and select the one you want.

Before cycle you should get a test for hormones (LH and FSH) You should get a lipid test or a LIP1. You should get a full liver panel and kidney test. Also not a bad idea to get an electrolyte glucose and mineral test.

Is this a pre steriod cycle test you want to do or a pre chemo test? You mention one then the other. Your doctor should schedule all of the pre chemo bw you'll need.

Thanks clarky much appreciated! We caught it soon I had a lump in my neck. But good news is its treatable and I'm in a begging stage I don't even have side effects yet. God was looking out for me!

you are correct urologist and cancer center called about 15 minutes ago. I had spoken with my oncologist about the free test check n he said find the name of the panel you want and I'll draw it up. Had to be specific cause of insurance. But now since a urologist is involved it won't matter I'm getting all bloods drawn
