What Causes Pain Behind The Head?

Hello, my dear friend has pain near the back of her head on left side, and her left eye keeps closing. She went to the doctor and they are ordering a CT scan and bloodwork. She recently had cancer of the uterus and had a complete hysterectomy in May.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Uterine cancer can be spread to brain and cause complications.
So wait for CT report.
If CT report is showing metastases then she will need brain radiation and chemotherapy.
If CT scan is normal then no need to worry for brain metastases.
Give her simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen for headaches.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
