Question
my partner has been experiencing bad and constant headaches for a few days now he had an mri scan on the weekend to find out why he was told that there is a small mass on his brain that shouldn't be there my question is could it be cancer or not also what the next step x

Answer
That is quite possible but not yet certain. If you can let me read the MRI brain scan report - you can copy it here - I'll be in a better position to evaluate what it may or may not be. The next step can not be determined until we know better what it is that this thing may be. Unfortunately we have to take one step at a time.
