At 5 months he should be feeling much much better than before, not what you are describing. It could be his thyroid holding him back from having any energy. Has he had recent bloodwork? Might be anemia? Or low white counts will make him feel lousy. I suggest checking in with his medical oncologist and having bloodwork done. There could be a very simple explanation for how your husband is feeling. Hope this helps.
