HER2+ time b/t surgery and chemo

I have HER2+breast cancer and I’m having surgery on April 7 followed by chemo and radiation. 8 years ago had a double mastectomy r/t triple neg cancer.
i was told that I need to wait 4-6 weeks after surgery (they have to switch out implants along w lumpectomy) before starting chemo. Does that amount of time sound excessive? Did others go back to work during those weeks? My Oncologist doesn’t want me to.

Thanks for any help/knowledge!
