You'll have to wait: It's hard to not know more than you do - to worry - especially if you care about her. But until you can talk with her or someone in her family, there's not much you can do. Be patient. All cancer is serious, not all is deadly - so hope for the best. After you can see her, stay patient too. While recovering, she'll be needing to rest and have pleasant visits. Don't make her worry about your fears.

Cancer: Cancer can be serious, It is difficult to answer this question accurately without knowing the specifics. This will include the type of cancer, stage and response to treatment. Being supportive can go a long way to help cancer patients no matter what the prognosis is.
