Education and knowledge is important - since you're having it checked Tuesday that should be fine this cancer can move quickly and be aggressive. I was a stage 2 with lymphnode involvement - 1 - and my dr. Despite being certain I was cured sent me for rads and chemo. I'm with Christine do all you can now to prevent recurrence. Take this weekend to read up on the standard of care for your type of cancer - and go in armed with that knowledge and your list of questions. I know some of the stuff you read is scary - but remind yourself that you are an individual and this is your own story. Hugs and try not to fret. If it has come back (hopefully not) then its still early. Take care and hoping its nothing.
