A member asked:

I asked a previous question wrong. could headache several times a month(not week) for 2 years be due to brain cancer?

Dr. James Goodrich answered

Brain cancer: Based on the period of two years it would be unlikely to be related to a cancer. Headaches are extremely common and while they do occur with brain cancer the fact that this has been going for two years i would think it unlikely.
