I finished my treatment - surgery, chemorads - in May, last year.

I returned to work in June, and have become more and more tired ever since. It's got to a point where I'm re-thinking my career. It's a physical, fast paced job. I don't enjoy it, but I've never felt so overwhelmed before.

I dread going into work. I'm so tired. 

I have spoken to a few specialists. The ones that knows me have suggested I take time off, but my GPs (who I don't know very well) are a bit unsure. 

I don't know what to do.

Has any one considered taking extra time off work, despite months passing since treatment finished? If so, how long did you take off? If not, how did you learn to pace yourself after such significant changes?
