Hi- I'm very sorry about your wife. Having had breast cancer several years ago, the best advice I can give you is to continue being as supportive as you are and let her be herself around you. The only other advice I can offer is to be her "ears" when you go to doctor/treatment appointments. Very often, the patient doesn't "hear' everything being thrown at her and it helps to have a somewhat objective other person in the room.
Try not to refer to her as "sick" - I hated that more than anything. I had a disease and was undergoing treatment - end of story.
It is a long and emotional road. If you have children, best to be honest with them as well.
All the very best to you and your wife. Keep us updated.
