Welcome to OCF! Being only 4 weeks post surgery seems quite early to be expecting a goal post in your recovery. Many folks use a measuring stick in months and that the new normal often takes a year to become clear.

I had chemo and rads, no surgery, but from what I have read here, surgery only treatment does seem to offer shorter time to being "normal".

Others will chime in but I'm sure they will agree you need to give it more time. Hang in there. Don
