What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Left Hand?

I m suppose to have carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist. It has been classified as moderate to severe. I have had 2 ctr on my left hand. I had breast cancer in 2003 on my left side. Chemo & Radiation. Probable element of peripheral sensory neuropathy related to chemotherapy. My left hand tingles all the time. So if I have my right wrist done, how will I be able to do my daily things such as putting contacts in, getting dressed, any task that I need to do. Driving, buttons, etc? I did have surgery on my right wrist in December 1999.
