Can be anywhere: It would be good to have your history of frequent headaches worked up by your doctor too, so you can rest assured that you don't have something you fear. That can bring peace of mind. Keep your cell phone away from your brain/testes in any case. Hands free alter natives.

Depends: Most headaches associated with brain tumors are usually frontal… however it can also be located unilaterally on either side of the head.
