What Causes Tiredness And Weakness Post Chemo And Radiation Therapy?

My dad was detected with Primary CNS Lymphoma 2 years back. He finished his chemo and radiation in 2014. Did a latest MRI and it was clear. But still he is tired all the time and doesnt walk much. So his oncologist asked us to see a neurologist. Started him on venlafaxine hcl er 37.5 mg and cinnarizine ip 20 mg domperidone tablet and some multivitamins. But still it dint improve much. Whenever he is awake and sitting upright in chair he always lowers his head on table. If asked if he is having any pain or reason why he is doing that he just says just like that

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such complaint could be likely because of malignancy, chemo therapy, radiation, age, but later or sooner it will be fine soon, in my opinion continue multivitamins hope this information helps.
