Israeli broadcaster Einat Erlich, 57, has shared details about her recovery following surgery to remove a brain tumor. Less than a month after revealing her diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM), Erlich posted on Instagram about a particularly difficult side effect: significant hair loss. She described how, after surgery, electrode adhesive matted half her hair into a hard mass, which she nicknamed "the rat."
Her family and friends spent a month trying to remove the matted hair without success. Eventually, a team of individuals, whom she referred to as "rat catchers," managed to dislodge the mass over two days. Following the surgery, the adhesive, and the removal of "the rat," Erlich stated that she lost one-third of her hair.
Despite the challenging experience, Erlich expressed a pragmatic outlook, stating that her hair is not important compared to more significant matters. She also emphasized her gratitude for the love and support of her friends and family during this period. Erlich had previously announced her diagnosis and successful surgery, expressing determination to overcome the illness.
