How Long Does Recovery Take After 5 Rounds Of Chemotherapy?

They are treating my brother 60yrs for PCP. After several days his breathing seems worse and not eating much. I read that treatment could take 21 days. He has had 5 rounds of chemo for a muscle cancer in the hip area. When should he see some improvement? Family is very worried

Hi,

It takes about two to three months for recovery.

As of now, concentrate on your diet. Include more proteins and fruits in your diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
