I thought when you had brain surgery they shaved your head - or do they just do a small area where they need to gain access? I'm not familiar with current methods for brain surgery, was surprised to see hair vs bandages. Any nurses or doctors want to weigh in?
She could have had gamma knife surgery which is laser radiation. It's used when the tumor is in a hard to reach spot for regular surgery.
They screw a square track to your head and then you lie down awake, they take the track they screwed in your head and align it to the laser treatment. Takes about 20 minutes or so.
Sounds interesting. I'll look that up. I had a childhood friend who had brain surgery, many years ago. I figured they've come up with more advanced methods than when this person went through it. Thank you for your reply.

You're welcome!
I'd want to be put to sleep for that. Hell, I was nervous getting LASIK.
It wasn't bad to be honest. The worst part was when the took out the screws and the pressure in my head was unbearable for about 15 minutes.
