You have a ways to go in treatment yet and I get you, its like living in the twilight zone where you want to have it over and get back to normal but you can't. Just do your best to enjoy yourself and get plenty of rest as your body does need it. I finished chemo 13 months ago and am just decreasing my 14 hours sleep to 9 or 10 now. Yep I sleep that much still! Be prepared for odd other things to happen too as your immunity will be low for months. One of the odd things I got was 3 months of bronchitis, an infected hair follicle down in my girly area which needed antibiotics to fix it, lymphedema which is thankfully much better behaved now and a blockage in a vein behind my eye which is thankfully also getting better but at the time I had terrible fears and depression. Keep on clawing your way up out of the rabbit hole and eventually it won't be such a big effort to enjoy life.
