psa testing

so I've been on oral Minoxidil 2.5 Mg since Aug 2023 and oral Finasteride (Propecia) 1 mg since November 2023. I think Im seeing some progress (see attached) with not alot of side affects. Since Finasteride throws off PSA testing.. how would you track if you actually got prostate cancer? One...

I apologize as I am sure this has been posed many times, but I cannot find the resource- 1.=What is the optimal time to have labs done after pinning..... I do inj. on Monday a.m. and Thursday p.m. and plan to have blood draw on a Friday? 2. For PSA test, how long should one refrain from...
