I work in a school, finished chemo & rads towards the end of Term 3, then went back in Term 4. In hindsight, way too early for me. Exhaustion to crying levels and work was all I could manage. After work and weekends were all about recuperating for the following week. It has gradually gotten better but I still get damn tired and it's been almost a year. Although I have a very supportive workplace and my family are great, I don't think anyone on the outside really understands the levels of fatigue. And sometimes it's not just tiredness but the need to lay down and get the pressure off my legs which often ache so badly at the end of the day. So, try to be as kind to yourself as you can and remember that it's all baby steps.
