I have an upcoming appointment and I'm interested in having Dr Cole try a few chest hairs to see if they are an option for me in the future. How large a section do I need to pre-shave (per the BHT pre-op instructions)?

Is it necessary to stop using Nizoral in the days before surgery?

When visiting my primary care physician last month, she mentioned that she'd recently read that Avodart appears to increase high-grade cancer risk. I decided I'd go back to Propecia, but have since discovered that it, too, carries the same risk. I'm curious what Dr Cole's take is on this recent information.

Here's a section of an article I found on the subject, entitled Prostate Cancer Warning Added to Proscar, Propecia, Avodart, and Jayin:
