Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It will help to take your husband to your doctor and have an assessment done of the tumor which you have mentioned is about to burst. A tumor usually will no burst but the skin might give way and this will cause infection which might spread to the rest of the body.

Probably your husband is on morphine and that is the reason he is not aware of the pain from the tumor on the face. Please have him seen by a surgeon and then precautions might be taken to avoid complications like development of ulcer and bleeding wound. Please do not worry.
