Hi my uncle has just started chemo for cancer that started on the tongue. He is getting very bad pain in his head. I am not able to understand what's causing it and whether there's an yy connection between the cancer and his headache. Appreciate if someone could help.

@desouzaj1, how is your uncle doing? Did his medical team find the cause of his headache?
