Having a break with your loved ones is a great way to celebrate new beginnings. Accept that you need time and you will need more rest. I didn't work through chemo and returned on reduced hours initially. I needed a sleep every afternoon.
If you are finding full time work too much consider reducing hours short term. Don't take on too much. Tell people if you feel at your capacity and keep great notes and to do lists as chemo brain takes time to resolve. I used to go for a short walk at lunch to give myself a mental break and to increase my fitness.
I say I'm still recovering from cancer treatment. 2 years on...I still am. My fitness in exercise is still short of my pre chemo fitness. I keep trying to improve it.
