Please contact an Oncologist to find the cause of headache. This may be due to advanced tumors, brain metastases and many more other reasons. The treatment may be with palliative chemotherapy and/or radiation and in very selected cases surgery. If patients general condition is not good, only palliative care is probably the best option.
