By the description you have given, I presume it is cancer in stomach with metastasis to lung. A patient with metastatic cancer presenting with intractable headaches should have MRI scan of brain to rule out brain metastasis. Meanwhile steroids (dexamethasone) may help.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
