I went through this same situation a few years ago. Just support her and be there for her to talk to if she needs you. There are several options for treating cervical cancer. Cervical cancer has the highest survival rate out there.
I had to have a LEEP procedure done a year ago and now all my pap's come back normal and I am completely healthy.

Just be there for her, its all you can do. If the news is bad, tolerate her emotion it could be tears one minute, anger the next, know when to leave her be and know when, despite what she says, to drag her kicking and screaming through the day. Good Luck - I will be thinking of you.
