Post cancer treatment

My last breast cancer surgery was Aug 2021 and I returned to work in Sept 2021. I wanted to check other people's experiences of returning to work post chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy treatment.  I find I have memory lapses, short concentration spans and make silly mistakes that I usually wouldn't make. Is it me or are others having the same/similar experiences?
