Some things do take time to recover. Also certain medication can affect some lab tests.
I watch for trends or big changes. Not sure where you check results, but if a Mayo patient, the portal has option to look at history in graph form. Most online medical portals have something similar. If I see something that is trending away from normal, I ask provider.

I was anemic for awhile and it took awhile to recover and show up in improved blood lab results. I needed to adjust diet to help my body recover. Another time, a medication for one thing, caused some other blood test to become abnormal. Unfortunately, no one told me. I and went to primary to follow up only to find out it was a med the oncologist had put me on that caused it.

Have you talked to your provider about the blood tests results?

Yes oncologist goes over it says it takes time. One thing is his protein level is high in bloodwork, didn’t go over that yet, go in a week. So nervous for the pet scan.
