Welcome to the forum debbiedoo.
Have you discussed this with your medical team? If you haven't had the chance to do so yet maybe you could note down all the questions you have, including the one you've mentioned above, and book an appointment to speak to them about it?
You can also chat to our cancer nurses about this. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from the UK. I hope this helps and you get to meet other members who have had experience of this surgery as well.
All the best,
