Yes, do swordfish's rec if you can afford it and/or insurance will pay. For sure, if you are going to do orals get a liver profile (AST, ALT, ALP, albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin) in addition to your cholesterol. Also, if you don't want to tell your doc you are on AAS you need some kind of story to get the insurance to pay for it. Something like you had jaundice or hepatitis as a kid and you need a baseline.
