It's been over 12 weeks since the treatment ended so they are probably right to recommend the surgery. Just make sure they discuss what they are planning on doing and what the likely aftereffects will be - and for what period of time. Some things they won't know until they get in there but they should be able to give a general picture.
Good luck, JoAnne
