Welcome to OCF! Im sorry to hear your husband is still having problems 9 months post rads.

I know radiation treatments are NOT easy to go thru. A complete recovery can take a full 2 years. Its full of ups and downs with many setbacks. I wish I had an answer to what was going on with his health problems, but unfortunately I do not have a medical background so I cant answer your question with what is wrong with him. I can only advise to focus on his nutritional intake. Ask the doc about adding some high protein whey powder to help with his healing. Every single day he should be taking in at least 2500 calories of the best, most balanced prescription formula he can get. There are well over 100 different types on the market. Having good nutrition can only help further his recovery.

Best wishes with his continued recovery!
