...such a caring person in her life.
Fear is pretty normal whenever there is a cancer diagnosis...even at stage 1. I had stage 1 breast cancer and while my prognosis is good and I am very grateful to be stage 1, sometimes the fear still pops in. 
The best antidote I have found is knowledge. As a friend, I hope you will educate yourself (as it seems you are doing) about your friend's situation, and then just be there to listen and support her. Remember that fear is normal, but it is also a choice. Push through the fear to enjoy each day. None of us knows what the future holds.
