My wife has had breast biopsy: what do I need to know

My wife has had a breast biopsy and she is due to get her results on Wednesday 28th. 
My question is where and how do I find out what I need to know and ask. I want to support my wife obviously but I feel like I know very little at this time. 
The thought of just sitting there nodding my head but not understanding is not what I want to do. 
I've read tons since last Tuesday but still want to be sure I understand what may or may not happen. 
any help would be very much appreciated. 
thanks

    Just listen to her worries and concerns. Be positive but tell her you understand that it's a really difficult time for her and she will have times where she doesn't feel positive. I got told on 31/3 I had breast cancer and had surgery 21/4. My partner has been great he knows I'm uncomfortable but still need to do what I can so let's me. We have chatted about everything from the first appointment to what if I have to have chemo and lose my hair. Be guided by her. 

    Hope all goes well x

    Thanks for the advice it so good of you to reply it's means a lot coming from a person who is going through what can only be a horrible experience. 
    I've not said a lot to my wife at the moment only how we will get through this. We will chat today now I'm starting to understanding what happens with this condition. 
    I think what you advised is the key and so important but I want to be able to support her in what her options are so I can at least  have a idea what she may have to handle. 
    Thank you for your reply it's so very much appreciated. 
    I hope your treatment is going well and I do so hope you get through it. 
    Thank you
