Having problems with message search?
It took me about 3 months to feel better and six months to be back on top of my game like before I was sick. You tell your dad to stick with it. It WILL get better and he will be glad when he can get out and do things.
Best Regards

He's having a problem with slow healing of the radiated skin in the
perineal area and infection, and he's very, very weak. He's been sick
for so long with the cancer, and he expected to fell better after the
surgery, but now he has all these problems along with dealing with a
new colostomy. How long does it take to heal up after having all of
this? He's getting very depressed.
