Thyroid dysfunction can increase as more time goes by after radiation treatment, and some may not even be testing it, at least twice a year, some do more often, and It's not on the CBC. As with the other organs, an eye exam too. I'm blind in one eye fom chemo, ocular toxicity, which can cause a host of eye problems, infections, and blindness if not properly treated, neuropathy also can be permanent, so tell the doctor of any hand and leg numbess, pins and needle sensation.

Good luck
