bloodwork - women - what beyond basic?

❓Question

So, I’ve seen this question asked and read through responses but nevertheless here I am, asking for some help — I am post-menopausal and taking HRT

My PCP requests the basic bloodwork, and I recently did a Rheumatoid Arthritis test (negative), but I am curious what I can get ADDITIONALLY that would help me in these ways:

  • better understand my overall health

  • get insights into any upcoming risks related to aging / cancer / cholesterol readings

I did do Apolipoprotein test… Anything else to recommend?

Years ago I tested testosterone and estradiol

when I first started doing HRT, but not sure what is ACTIONABLE info

thank-you for putting up with this question
