Question ***HOW/WHEN do you get over the nervousness of seeing your oncologist???***

I had my last Herceptin on 8/10/06 and the "followup plan" is to see my surgeon and oncologist every rotating 6 months, so I will see one or the other every 3 months. I am SOOOO nervous to see my onc (not so bad w/ the surgeon as he doesn't do bloodwork like the oncologist). I am feeling fine though sinuses are bad, but STILL paranoid...Advise. Take care and God bless.
