Just like Phil, I think this is good enough.

: This is awkward because you repeat "therapy". Also, you can't say "post the".

Thanks, Steffen! Yes, metranslations' suggestion made me think about this question some more and I believe that your correction is most relevant. I'd go with it.

: I would word it slightly differently "...after discontinuing therapy"

On the second thought, however, if you phrase it this way and retain "the patient suffered a relapse", it may sounds as if the patient discontinued the treatment himself/herself, which may not be the case. Perhaps Steffen's suggestion nails it.

Discussion
INCIDENTALLY (important): I accidentally left out the Alternative translation in which I used "post the therapy".
Namely:
Following a course of therapy of more than 20 months, a relapse occurred 5 months post the therapy.
The main point I tried to make is that the prefix (or etc.) "post" is very common and accepted in both informal and formal medical writing, and is rare in non-medical writing (e.g. in engineering writing).
