follow up appointment with PCP since starting Test-C

Yesterday, I seen my PCP for my 2 month followup since starting Test-C. He told me right off the bat that the dose I was on was the highest amount his office prescribes and that he needs to CYA (cover his ass) and that he wants me to be aware of the potential carcinogen effects of high doses of testosterone can have on men. I am also the only patient in his office that self administers. Then he asked me how I was doing and feeling. I told him I feel really good, Energy, mood, libido, are over all excellent. He tried to persuade me to try 100mg every 10 day instead of the 100mg over 7. I told him no as I am really happy how I feel right now. He then asked me if I've had any fits of rage, back acne, and oily skin. I told him that I did have some acne on my back and showed him and he said my back looks good. I also told him I feel a bit more aggressive but no rage. I also told him that I am sleeping SOOOOOO much better than before. After our chat my PCP believes I am on a good dose. I told him I am willing to try 50mg every 5 days but not 100mg every 10 days to see how I feel. HOWEVER, I told him I do not want my dose lowered. He appreciated my willingness to work with him and try it out. I now have a 6 month script for test-c at 100mg per week! I do not feel that I need a larger dose.

FYI. He did not want me to get labwork done prior to visiting him today. Also, he has not requested I get any labwork until he sees me again in 3-6 months. My PCP does not know that I did have labwork done through a different doctors office and that I know where I am at.

Should I be concerned about his lack of interest in seeing labs?
Feedback is always appreciated!!

My Total Testosterone levels are now between 580 and 1100 on 100mg test-c! I feel great and want to F#CK everything!

BTW I posted this topic on a different site forum.

these question and suggestions by your doc that makes me run out of there and look for another doc. your ranges are vague regarding your test levels 580-1100 and the follow up 3-6 months! what is your test level exactly and when will he see you next exactly? if he sees you in 3 months that's fine, but 6 months is way too long for someone like you new on TRT.

Like Bass said, your doc doesn't seem that knowledgeable. If you choose to stay with him please continue to self-educate to protect yourself. Proper blood work is important here as you know. Especially in the beginning....

I think my doctor is just following the guidelines specified by the drug datasheet ----> http://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=548

here is my labs:

I also had my estradiol checked.

This test was taken 7 days after my LAST shot of 100mg Test-c.

BTW guys I have a script for HCG and I also have about 90 1mg pills of Anarzole (Airmidex). I do not intend to take the HCG unless I am cut off of the Test-C. I really believe I need the Airmidex as I am feeling great libido wise and my Estradiol is not really too high IMO.
