Are you being treated at a Comprehensive Cancer Center? In other words, who is 'they?'
A schedule of three month follow ups is pretty standard. And yes, the emotional is far more difficult than the physical. You might want to seek out a Cancer Survivor's support group in your area. For someone as young as you are, there are so many issues to deal with as you move forward with your life. Either a support group or a therapist who deals specifically with Survivor's issues might be helpful.
