His white counts are probably pretty low so his resistance even to minor ailments is very low. Most patients have this continue for a considerable time after finishing treatments. Could be any number of things going on.
Another thing during recovery to watch out for is if your husband becomes more tired than usual. At that point, he could be running into issues with his thyroid or testosterone levels.
Im curious to know what he has going on.
