Sherrie,
I know just how you feel. My husband had stage IV SSC of tonsil, finished treatment 7-00, and each time we go back if they take longer than what we think is normal, or look like they might feel or see something, both our hearts drop. One time the Dr thought he felt something, called back to radiology to re-read the cat scan, then had us wait, yikes! Came back in and said, no, they don't see anything, go back to Mississippi! Needless to say in three months when it was time for our check up we were even more nervous. I guess with time this anxiety we seem to get about two weeks prior to each check up will get better, hopefully!
