my mom has cancer in her stomach and lungs. its in the advance stage. now she is having really bad migraine headaches. hospice nurse told her to double up on her meds but they still havent gone away. why is she having these? what else can she do about them?
By the description you have given, I presume it is cancer in stomach with metastasis to lung. A patient with metastatic cancer presenting with intractable headaches should have MRI scan of brain to rule out brain metastasis. Meanwhile, steroids (dexamethasone) may help. Please discuss it with your doctor.
