It's true that spaying will cut out a lot of risk of certain cancers, but you have every right to be nervous, bc she is your baby! @2 lbs , that is small, but if you go to a good vet who uses the best equipment and technology and used iso anesthesia she will be fine. The risk of her not making it is very slim nowadays.
Has she has her blood work done to see if her liver and kidneys,etc are healthy enough to clean out the anesthesia during surgery? If you vet says she is healthy enough to do it, then I would trust your vet, but she's your baby, so the final decision is yours.
I'm in a similar boat as you. While Uni is more than twice the size of your baby, I haven't spayed her yet, and one of the reasons is I'm scared. But the sooner it's done, the more health risks are cut out. There's another thing they can get, something about the uterus I think? but I can't remember what it's called.
