Use nodetool listsnapshots to check if you have a snapshot - in default configuration, Cassandra takes snapshots for operations like truncate.
Failing that, is it all sstables from all nodes? In this case, your data has gone I’m afraid. If it’s just all sstables from one node then running repair will rebuild the sstables from the other replicas in the cluster.
