Question

what is the difference between those 2 sentences ?
The patient was somewhat worried about the surgery.

Answer

I assume you are asking about "somewhat"?
In both cases, it expresses a vague degree between nothing and completely, but not indicating precisely where.
first case - the patient is kind of worried, has some worries, but not very worried.
second case - the travels are not cheap, but not really expensive.
