Yom Kippur Fast - After Chemotherapy Treatment

Question

Hello Rabbi, my father is 75 years old. Four months ago, he finished chemotherapy treatments following colon cancer, for the second time. According to him, he feels well. He regularly takes medications for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol: Tritace for blood pressure, Trajenta Duo for diabetes, and Litovya for cholesterol. Should he fast?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

He should eat and drink as usual. 

A complete recovery.
