This is a pertinent issue for me currently. I have an appointment with my primary care physician tomorrow to follow up on high test results for thyroid and mild anemia. It seems that these are common side effects from H&N radiation. Not sure what the numbers are or what to think of them once I learn. I will let you know what the Dr. says.
