Hi @kabash,
You poor thing, we all know how scary this first bit is, waiting for your full pathology/diagnosis. Good luck with it all.
It sounds like you are doing a great job of getting your head around things and moving forward positively. That's a great start.
Like you I am Her2+, mine is Grade 3. And like you I like to know about treatment etc so for interest here's how mine is being treated, it seems quite a common prescription for both Her2+ and Triple Negative.
I had my surgery first. Since then I have completed AC chemotherapy (4 x fortnightly dose dense, so 8 weeks) and am part way through the next course - Paclitaxel chemo 12 x weekly sometimes known as T (for Taxol). The first week and then every third week I have Herceptin, an immunotherapy drug targetting Her2+ cells.
So AC then T and H.
Its pretty doable. Makes you very tired and some annoying side effects, but they have lots of drugs to stop nausea and other things. I am finding walking good mind and body therapy, helps burn off some of the stress too.
As you may have already read Her2+ BC used to have a much worse prognosis ten years ago before the discovery of Herceptin, which has in turn has led to lots of new drugs, either available now or on in development for all stages of cancer. There seem to be lots of new developments and treatments on the horizon.
Best wishes
