Its a tradeoff for sure, I think I will start at about 40-50% of 1RM and work on pace and time under tension, see if I can spark some growth without fatigue, I know the feeling two days after the gym I still feel like I am dragging around. Maybe Ill sneak in cardio just to build a fatigue tolerance, much as I despise cardio.

Good luck on your way back, keep me/us posted with anything you learn along the way!
