As a married lady who has recently been diagnosed with cancer, I can say that the fact your are soul mates and you have posted on here bodes really well for you both getting through this together
I know by recent experience that it is difficult to predict what to expect Emotions change day by day just be there to listen but also make sure you take care of yourself - not sure what area you live in but in most places there are groups that help the family navigate this - may be worth investigating
