Camille, I'm sorry to read that the news was not better and that you had to post this...

I hope that we can help you here on this forum. There really is much hope as you have not already had radiation, but it's difficult to hear when you've been told that further treatment was unnecessary. Perhaps allowing yourself a few days of sorrow before getting back into a fighting frame of mind might be one approach to regain some control.
