Suggest Treatment For Headache And A Lump In The Head

I have many headaches and pain all around my head, and now I have a hard painful lump near the bottom of my head, I did have an MRI quite awhile ago and they just saw foci in my head, I looked it up where the researchers said that it can cause tumours, I did have Breast cancer 7 years ago too and I beat it then, but I am wondering if this lump could be a Tumor? Oh I am so sorry, I don t have any money.When I typed this concern of mine I didn t know I had to pay. Oh dear Drs I am truly very sorry, but you are all wonderful, precious treasures and blessings from The Lord.

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
I understand your concern.
A lump in the head may be caused by different causes like inflammation of the surrounding tissues, a bone problem, or a meningeal lesion which causes also bone changes. A brain tumor can also cause this.
Your past medical history is very concerning. Breast cancer is known to cause metastasis to the brain and bones, even after many years from the initial treatment.
So I would strongly recommend you to consult with your neurologist, have a physical examination and a brain CT scan to exclude the above mentioned possibilities. A blood analysis for inflammation is also needed.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
Dr. Aida
