What you are experiencing sounds like post-chemoembolization syndrome, which is a common inflammatory reaction as your body heals. While resuming a low dose of dexamethasone can be very effective in managing these symptoms, it is incredibly important to contact your oncology or radiology team before doing so. We must first rule out any underlying infection, which can sometimes present with a delayed fever. Your medical team will safely evaluate this and help you get the relief you need.
