Brief Answer:
Testosterone

Detailed Answer:
Canadian units for reporting blood levels of testosterone (and indeed many other laboratory test results) are often different form those used in USA.

So if you could please glance at your testosterone report and provide me with the units that follow such as ng/dl or nmol/ml etc

I would like to believe I know what the units are likely to be and based on that the testosterone levels appear normal to me but I would like to be a 100% certain before I assure you of that.

It is an important blood test result in the context of the symptom you are sharing ie that of breast growth.

Further the prolactin is normal. That is good.

It is useful to know the results of the following blood tests too:
CBC
TSH
FREE T4
CREATININE
ELECTROLYTES
SGOT
SGPT
ALBUMIN
BILIRUBIN
BETA HCG
