I know how worried you are, I was also 2B, but triple positive. Here is a link to a thread with people who are ER-/PR-/Her2+, and there are recent posts. Wishing you the best.

I was diagnosed in July with stage 2A ER-, PR- HER2+ Breast cancer. I did 6 rounds of TCHP chemo (finished in November) and had surgery the week of Christmas. Surgery showed that I had a pathological complete response to chemo. I still have radiation and months of herceptin and Perjeta infusions in front of me, but those shouldn’t be that bad as far as treatment goes.
The diagnosis is scary as hell, but treatment isn’t as bad as you think it will be, and while this specific diagnosis is an aggressive cancer, it tends to respond to medication really well

Hi Vee... you are in the trenches. I feel for you and we totally understand the fear. You are Her2+ which is excellent -- I almost wish I was because H/P have such amazing success rates. I will also say a majority of remission stories I see on here are Her2+, so that is really a blessing. 90% is HUGE -- you got this!!
