Can Carcinoid Stage 4 Cancer Cause A Lump In The Crown Of Head?

My husband was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago with carcinoid stage 4 cancer. He is doing amazing...still working.

Gets a shot once a month BUT I have always cut his hair and this year I feel a large lump in the crown of his head. You can't really see it but it is definitelly different than it ever was. He knows his cancer is not curable and will not go in for test. I haven't mentioned this shape change to him but I do wonder about it. He turns 68 tomorrow and has a wonderful attitude about life. Thanks for listening. Any thoughts?
