I read that a meningioma can get to big to use a gamma knife what is considered to big. Iam on a wait and see option.

Hi: I feel for you, having gone through the same thing after my meningioma surgery. Sure wish a nurse would have handed me a comb. I had no idea my hair had gone crazy! Nurse did say to try combing it out using Argan Oil, sold as a hair product. Took quite a bit of time teasing out the mats, but still had all/most of my hair at the end. Miracle! Try it - take it from one who knows what you’re going through.

Im in some Resources financially. I need help for foods and dayly needs but dont have any help can anyone

Good luck on your recovery, I also had about 36 staples and was given the okay to wash my hair next day in hospital a nurse helped me. I used baby shampoo as was given at hospital and later recommended to use at home which I did. If you wash my guess is the blood would wash away. You may have tangles. I wasn’t allowed to use conditioner for 6 weeks. Dr wanted me to only use baby shampoo. As for any tangles I would work around your incision and maybe get a family member to gently help. Tangles were never an issue as I tried to comb daily. Dr wanted me to wash hair daily to keep clean. Best of luck to you. 🙏

Catv7: Glad you responded. My craniotomy was 2 years ago and I just couldn't remember the whole head washing procedure.
