I was out a total of 4 1/2 months, but returned to work part time 8 weeks after my last rad exposure. full time 3 weeks later. My work is not very physically demanding. My strength and stamina have gradually returned, but are still not at pre-treatment levels now 7 months past treatment.
Best of luck during your treatments. Kepp coming back here for info. You're much more fortunate than I was in that you found this web site before you have to go through all this.
Best wishes for good health
