Hi Sunshine 12 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm really sorry to read that your best friend has recently been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and I can understand how devasting this must be for you.
As you know, the online community is divided into different support forums I'm going to recommend that you also join and post in the supporting someone with incurable cancer forum as you'll then connect directly with others who have someone they care about with an incurable diagnosis.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
