Probably not - you should do some reading on identity theft and how to protect yourself, to help alleviate some of your concerns.

You have reported the card stolen, and done the most you can - there's nothing else you can really do, since recovering the card is most likely impossible unless it was lost within a store.

Much like anything else, make sure that you periodically check your credit rating and history, protect important information and documents, etc etc etc - but this really shouldn't be a big deal, very little vital information is available through the physical card (especially once canceled).
