I still haven't figured out how to deal with the fear of recurrence - but the amount of time I spend worrying about it is getting less and less - and pretty much confined to discrete events (e.g., follow-up scans).
Meditative breathing exercises help me. Other have found some sort of counseling to be useful. This is a rough road to travel, but there is help available along the way.
My very best to you and your husband.
