Makes me feel tired reading this! Do you feel better in yourself for being at work? Or does the tiredness take away any satisfaction you might feel about returning to your profession?

It would be great if you could phase yourself in even more gradually.

Amazingly I started to regain energy levels a few weeks after radiation finished but 1) I'm retired and don't have to go to work although I would love to 2) I had a less dramatic weight loss and less severe side effects.

If it's any encouragement I did notice the fatigue ebbing away and energy coming back a month after rads, possibly because of my huge intake of formula, milk and ice cream.

Hope you find lots of good advice here about going back to work:)
