Krishna, It is not wise to give your father a "get back to normal" time frame-because everyone is truely different in that reguard. If you can get him to focus on a week at a time after treatment is over, it will be better for him. And some of his recovery speed will depend on how weel he can keep up his weight and liquid intake during the rest of his radiation. Wishing you both the best. Amy
