What Causes A Lump On The Back Side Of The Head?

I am a soon to be 32 year old female, and for the past week I have noticed when I wake up in the morning I have a lump at the back of my head that hurts to the touch, it comes and goes. I don't feel a pulsation or anything of that nature. My concern is that its in the same exact location everytime. Within a few hours it goes away. History wise, my father passed due to a metastic cancer that originated in some part of the body thus traveling to his brain. Long story short I'm not sure what is going on. The only changed recently is I am losing weight. I work out more and watching my calorie intake and taking natural pills from the vitamin shoppe for glucose and sugar tolerance etc. Any advise? I appreciate your assistance!
