@MicheleR I understand the desire to get back to normal. I was the same and after having chemo and rads, I went back about 3 weeks after (30 hours pw). I only realised that I'd made a huge mistake a few weeks later. I had thought I'd be okay as I was doing the school run every day, going to exercise sessions and I was getting bored. However, once back at work, I really struggled with fatigue and cognitive issues. It wasn't unusual for me to be so exhausted by the end of the working day that I was feeling sick. So, while you may be fine, I'd suggest giving yourself a bit of extra time if you can. And if you still have radiation to go, that is another thing that can cause extreme fatigue.
