Brain tumor from liver?

[Springbunny]

My husband had very strange sensation about 2 months ago. He describes it “electric ants marching from his temple to the end of the arms” and felt nauseous. If I think back, it might have been seizures.It went away after 2 weeks, then he started suffering from daily headache. He always had migraine with aura but this headache is different.We begged GP to send him to brain scan strait away, but GP sent him to an optician and gave him Vitamin B12 injections.Finally he had a brain MRI 2 weeks ago and they found “lesion” on his right side of the brain. He was kept in hospital for 6 days (we don’t know why) put on steroid to reduce the brain swelling. During his stay, he had another MRI scan and blood test. He came back home 2 days ago, so far headaches are under control with steroid and painkillers.He had full liver transplant 10 years ago for liver cancer. They told me there is a possibility the cancer was in his brain at that time. We don’t know the diagnosis yet as we are going to see neurologist in a few days time.I wonder if it’s possible he had a secondary brain cancer from liver for 10 years. Usually liver cancer don’t travel to brain and he had brain scan before the transplant but there was nothing. I am struggling to find any information of secondary brain cancer from liver as it’s very unusual.Any advice or your experiences appreciated.P.S. he had full body CT scan and no cancer in his body.
