Hello,
thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your cconcern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that if you are on chemotherapy for cancer your immunity had got down very much. Because of it you may get infected with some bacteria. I advice you to get swab for culture and sensitivity for the possible infection. As you are cancer patient it is necessary for you to get sensitivity report in hand for future reference purpose.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
