What Causes Headache In A Cancer Patient?
My father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer then shortly after they said it was a rapid cancer that has already spread to his bladder, hip, back, neck and right above his kidney. Recently he has started having headaches. One thing we are worried about is it spreading to his brain. Are these headaches normal or should we be worried it spread?

Hello,
Lung cancer has a tendency to spread to brain.
I would advise your father to do MRI of brain immediately. If it has spread to brain, then he will need radiation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
