Baring considerable side effects; I can't think of anyone in my support group that has gone eight months past TX and still isn't able to eat anything.

Some taste issue of course and problems with dry or spicy food..

We had an excellent presentation by Scripps Clinic CCC and as I recall there position was three to six month and that seems to be about the norm in our support group.

I hope your brother is getting some specialized care for his eating problems.
