I agree with that too. Listen to what your body tells you and be aware that while you may have one set of expectations about when you can return to work, your body's needs may end up being different.

I had planned to return to work at about 3/4 of my normal more than full-time hours about 2 and 1/2 months after radiation treatment was over.

When I started, though, I realized that I really was not as healed as I needed to be to keep up that schedule so I am now (with support from my doctor) on a less than half time load (teaching one class online and developing some faculty and staff training materials as well as serving on a couple of committees) but, fortunately, getting banked sick leave hours from the union to make up the difference for full time pay!

Nigel, you sound like you are recovering much more quickly than I did in the fisrt month, though (you are recovering at the rate I had hoped to recover!), so two months might be more than enough for you.
