Rare things rarely happen and brain cancer is far down the list as far as possibilities. The symptoms you cite do not suggest a brain cancer. When/if it becomes troublesome enough to alter your daily activities get evaluated.

As Dr Ferguson remarks, if you reach your tolerance limits and find the brain cancer fears and headaches are affecting your activities of daily living too much, perhaps you could schedule a visit with a neurologist to get evaluated.
