This Tx is brutal for the majority and for some it's even more brutal. His body is under attack from both the cancer and his Tx. I said many many times during my Tx that I didn't fear the cancer, the Tx was what I feared would kill me. Each of us can react differently but being tired and weak, etc is completely normal. Don't forget what this may be doing to his mental side as I'm sure it's working in overdrive 24/7 right now.
