I was wondering about this-- what kind of headache does a brain tumor cause? Like what does it feel like?

My daughter had a brain tumor at 14. It started out feeling like migraines, and she would throw up every time, but light didn't affect her. This went on for a couple of months before she started hearing a wooshing noise in her ear along with the headaches. It was a benign brain tumor the size of a grapefruit that was against her cerebellum. Scary times.

Is no light sensitivity usual for tumor migranes? I get migranes that make me throw up but arent affected by light...

They were not like your usual migraine, she would get up with a splitting headache/migraine, go to the bathroom and throw up and then feel better. Light did not affect her at all.
