I finished all of my treatments in August of 2009. I went back to work a couple of days a week, a couple of hours a day in October. Then, pretty much full-time in November. I will say, that I was pretty wiped out when I went home, however. Do what your body tells you. You have been through Hell, so don't expect to snap back immediately.
