My blood test result (regarding my liver function)

Hi every body
As I am approximately for 1 months on Androcur, and the past 10 days on such a high dose of 150 mg/day. I thought its time to have my liver function checked. And by a research on the internet I found out that two enzymes called SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are responsible for liver function. These enzymes are normally contained within liver cells. If the liver is injured, the liver cells spill the enzymes into blood, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling the liver damage. So I did the test without doctor supervision, When I went to get my results I was very nervous and worried. the result is:
Test --------------Result-------------Unit-------Normal Range
S.G.O.T------------28--------------Sfu/ml----------5-40
S.G.P.T-------------31-------------Sfu/ml---------- 5-40
The results were within normal range that is good. But I just don’t know how frequent I should check my liver. Since im on high dose of cyp should I do it every month or every other month or what?
