Can I Donate Blood And Plasma After Meningioma Removal Sugery

I had a surgery back in 2006 to remove a meningioma from the top of my head and the surgery went perfect. Right now I was wondering if I can donate blood for plasma like I use to before the surgery but was inform that I may not be able to by some friends. Can you please ask me if I m able to or not. Thank you.
