Who else is HER2 positive?

I was diagnosed with stage 3B HER2 positive breast cancer last year these days. I did mastectomy and found a 4cm tumor and removed 21 lymph nodes (9 of them were affected), I was very lucky and I kept the nipple. Then I did chemotherapy weekly (for 22 weeks), alongside I did immunotherapy with trastuzumab+pertuzumab. After all of these I had radiation therapy every day for 25 sessions and now continuing with immunotherapy (every 3 weeks) till is a full year since I begun. I've been doing every 3 months examinations (mostly mammograms, ultra sounds in the abdoment and breasts and chest), every 6 months we add a brain MRI and CT scans of the abdomen and a bone density measurement. So far my examinations are cancer free!!! I've been struggling with anxiety, depression and insomnia since last February. But with a little help from my friend Chemistry I'm better (antidepressants and other)! I realised that my case was serious and that I had to fight with all my heart and brain! I can say now that I am very optimistic and believe that I will be a positive case and cancer free for the years to come! I have a lot of things to do in life and I will do all of them!!! Hope I helped you and cheered you up! I wish you well and be healthy for the years coming!!! 😊🤞
