You should be having a scan around the one year mark. If you have something you are concerned about, go in. Dont just call, GO. You doctor needs to feel this node himself and he should know if it has changed since you saw him. Make sure you write down everything you are concerned about before your appointment. Please dont think you are bothering your doctor, they work for you. On Monday morning you make a phone call and see when you can get in to see your doc. With your history it is only smart to be concerned when something isnt right.
Then try to stay busy so you dont worry so much. Best wishes!
