What you are describing is not that protracted a recovery, but actually what might be considered normal by most that have been through what he has. I am 20 years younger than he, and I did not begin to put weight back on for many many months after the end of treatment. The first 6 months after treatment I slept all the time. The body has had a significant amount of destruction done to it by both the disease and the treatments. He needs recovery time. It is a slow p0rocess, but things do eventually return to normal. Keep the nutrition up and let him sleep as much as his body needs. One month of recovery for every week of treatment is not abnormal.
