They are just making sure. I think my surgeon and I "manage each other". I go in with yet another new symptom and I will say "I know you like to be thorough" and he will reply "And I know how you worry so we might as well alleviate that concern by ____" So far this system has worked for us smile. Yes, they will check new symptoms. 99.9/100 of the things they have checked on me in the last 6 years were nothing but my overactive mind. Having said that........"we know they like to be thorough"!!!

Relax, have the tests, and never be afraid to go to your doctor with what you feel. They DO understand!
