How long before my taste buds recover after H&N treatments?

Did it take awhile for bloodwork to go back to normal? Some of my husband’s is low and some is elevated, there watching it. It’s been three months since last treatments. And he still is more tired, he’s older so it’s been hard.

I am at 18 months after treatment ended for tonsil cancer. My RBC and hemo is finally close to the lower level of normal. They slowly climbed over 18 months.
My docs say that, since my creatinine is high, the hormone in the kidneys that stimulates RBC growth is inhibited, My RBC levels will probably stay about the same.

With my blood work I had three things that needed to be monitored back in 2008.
1) My magnesium level was low so started taking a magnesium plus protein from my dietitian suggested.
2) My creatinine level was high but that was a combination to the chemo and my workout supplement I was taking so I stop my workout supplement and that went back to normal.
3) My red blood cell count was the lowest in the normal range and is even a little less today putting me outside the normal range, but my oncologist assures me it's not an issue as he says if needed it will spike and once again stated that to me back in March of this year when I was diagnosed with a different cancer.
You will get better.
