I recently discovered I have breast cancer. I had the cancer removed and received treatment with the SAVI catheter. I was given cefadroxil antibiotic to take for 22 doses while I had the instrument inserted in my breast. It was removed on Saturday and the round of antibiotics was finished.

Could I have yeast infection in the nipple?
