My psychologist told me that it takes time because we go through so much stuff with this type of cancer. I still get a lot of fear and anxiety and often wonder how do they really know even with biopsies? So you are not alone. We just have to believe that they are doing everything right. I do know that your ENT is being very thorough so he cen ber certain find anything. Sounds like you are in good hands. Again the more time we go without a recurrence the easier it will get. I however, do not believe it will ever go away, but it will lessen some.
