  Downloading and printing out this might help! http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/SurvivorshipDuringandAfterTreatment/UnderstandingRecurrence/LivingWithUncertainty/fear-of-cancer-recurrence-intro
  
  I found it while looking for something to help me deal with my fear of recurrence.
  
  The problem is, as I undertand it, most tests now available can't detect cancer cells untill they have multiplied to a certain point. So just because they can't detect it doesn't mean it's not there, sadly.
  
  Good luck.
