First off, I stay in /b/ and /k/ . K isn't the place for this and I'm sure as hell not asking in b. My wife of 12 years had a mammogram followed a week later by another because they found some thing. Second mammogram couldn't disqualify possible breast cancer. We go for a biopsy in the morning. I am curious as to how long the results take to come back. I also want her to know that I am absolutely petrified with honest fear for the results. What would be the best way to let her know about this or should I just kinda play it as cool as possible until we find out more? Thank you so much.

you can tell her you're worried with your words. with your actions you should try to maintain your cool, always.

I have told her I'm concerned and we will deal with what comes. Honestly though, that doesn't even scratch the surface ya know.

Don't act like you don't care but instead of telling her how scared you try to be reassuring. Because she's probably scared too and I don't think she wants to have to tell you it's going to be okay when she has cancer.
That's what I've been doing. It is just a huge elephant in the room because she is a wreck right now and she keeps asking why I seem to have my shit together, when in fact, I don't. I have been letting her tell me her concerns and fears and I have just been listening. Then I tell her that I am very worried and she doesn't believe me because of "the way I am handling it".
I should also mentioned that we have informed some of the family about what is going gone. Our kid is 16 Yrs old (yes, we are in our late 30's) and he just freaked out. We informed him that we have to wait on the biopsy results. That seemed to calm him down.

there's something brewing inside me constantly that would make it satisfying to scream and break things, starting with the drywall, half of which is just the horror of existence.
so I understand what you mean

It depends. Would it make her suffer and fear more, I you tell her your feelings ? Or would she be happy that you really empathizes with her about her situation, which can comfort her ? Only you can know, OP.
