These could be possible side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Don’t panic just be very regular your follow ups . Recurrence also have symptoms as you had earlier but it only occurs in cases of advanced stages. So you need to be in touch with the team looking after you .Fungal infection is also possible and treatable.
