Inflammation around lung tumors

My lung tumors have been pretty much "stable" on erbutix. Last couple of scans have mentioned tubular branching opacities, consistent with colloid impaction secondary to tumor  which I glean through google is inflammation around tumor. Has anyone had this, and know how to make it go away, or if it means tumor cells or dying, or anything about it?

    Maybe get with your

    Maybe get with your oncologist for more indepth bloodwork to include IL-1.  I did a quick search and found IL-1 can be related.  Push for answers and a plan.
