Call oncology now: if you have had recent radiation, surgery +/- chemo you need to be evaluated for these symptoms right away. Call your oncologist now. Speak to whomever is on call for the group and explain your symptoms. Follow their advice. Sometimes this can be addressed in an outpatient center and at other times they may want to observe you in hospital. The details matter and your oncologist has them. Call now.
