Molly Cuddihy was treated at two flagship hospitals in Glasgow between 2018 and 2020.
The teenager told the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry she was fitted with a line for treatment that later became infected.
This line-related infection caused Ms Cuddihy temperature spikes and fits.
The inquiry is investigating the construction of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) and Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) in Glasgow, and the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh.
Ms Cuddihy was told she had metastatic Ewing's sarcoma when she was 15 years old.
The now 19-year-old was cared for at the RHC and QEUH where she was fitted with a line for treatment.
Not long into her chemotherapy, Ms Cuddihy told the inquiry that her body went into septic shock - a life-threatening condition that happens when your blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection.
She also described her rigors - episodes in which your temperature rises - as "crazy".
Ms Cuddihy was diagnosed with mycobacterium chelonae, an infection in her line that she later discovered came from the hospital environment, either air or water-borne, and that had probably caused her temperature spikes and fits.
She said she had to take a "very strong" course of antibiotics she likened to bleach to treat the infection.
"The medication had horrible side-effects. I thought chemo was bad, but this was something else," she said.
"I got a prolonged QT interval with my heart. This is when my heart pumps out the blood, but then doesn't fill up fast enough, so I would often collapse."Earlier this year, an independent review found the deaths of two children were at least in part the result of infections linked to the QEUH environment.
