I know a LITTLE bit about your issue from Lymophoma, Bass, but I have never had radiation for PCa.
The Lymphocytes are manufactured by differeing types of stem cells inside the bone marrow. Most of this occurs in the "long bones," femur and others. But the pelvic area probably supports this production also. Probably the rads damaged the marrow a little. Most likely it will spring back to normal range, but if not ask the radiation oncologist involved.
