Default Axon damage

My husband had leukaemia which transformed to Hodgkins disease. Very ill for 6 weeks during which time the muscles in his legs all but disappeared. Arms and hands also affected. Neurological tests showed that the axon had been severely damaged. Now he cannot walk, can just about take his own weight but the legs and feet don't go where he wants. Also doubly incontinent. Has been told that IF the nerves grow back it could take up to 2 years. Has anyone else had this? How did you cope? Has there been any improvement over time? Did any treatment help. Many thanks.
