Hi @Hubby2021, it's really great to support your wife.
I agree about talking to the staff to see if you can be with your wife for the ultrasound. It really should not be a problem technically. It is not painful or invasive.
A mammogram is like an xray so you won't be able to attend for that. As explained above the breast is between 2 plates for the mammogram and can be uncomfortable.
The scan will be reviewed by the doctor and then your wife will be given the results provable a few days later.
If this is done private your wife may have a biopsy either the same time or later if they want to check at the lump. The results of a biopsy can take a few days. Some lumps that women get can be cysts. I had a few cysts in my younger years.
Try not to google as it really doesn't help. It is best to just stay in the moment and take everything as it comes. Keep your wife busy doing things she enjoys. It helps to keep the mind positive and not focus on the unknown.
Best of luck.
