Waiting to find out about further surgery

I had cancer 7 years ago and had two surgeries. Now I have a new growth which is being watched, I was told to follow up in six months (1.5 months remaining). When I first got this news I was over the moon that I didn’t need immediate surgery but now that my rescan is upcoming I am extremely anxious. I don’t want to spend the next 1.5 months feeling unhappy and anxious but I’m not sure how to block these feelings out.
