Try and tell him that after 2 years without a recurrence your survival percentage is way up there and besides he can't prevent it if it were to occur. Heck you also still have the main weapon at your disposal even if it did come back so that's a good thing. I'm sure there are professionals that can assist him and you to deal with these fears so you might consider that if all else fails.
