You cant rush recovering. Your body has been thru a war and must rebuild itself. Its a long process with good days and bad. Soon their will be more good than bad days for you. Sorry that I dont have better news but it can take up to 2 years to get back to normal. Relax and dont worry about this, it will happen. You will bounce back.
How long ago did you finish radiation? Did you have chemo? Please add to your signature so we can better help you.
