About 3 weeks after treatments have stopped your dad will start to feel slightly better. It takes a while, slowly he will gain strength.

I had my 3rd round of chemo canceled too and so did a few others here.

Pain meds differ so much from patient to patient. My guess is that after 2 or 3 months he should be free from the meds. That also depends on what he has had done, I dont know about any surgeries, etc.
