I hope the pain turns out to be just some scar tissue bothering Emmett. If he is that uncomfortable it would be a good idea to try to move up his appointment. It can only help to ease your minds that there is nothing wrong. Unfortunately, pain is something many of us patients live with after surviving cancer treatments.
