If your feelings get too overwhelming, certainly speak with a counselor. There is no shame in that. It will help you cope and probably help you be the best possible friend to her. As a cancer survivor, I had some wonderful friends who were there for me in many ways, and one in particular who completely disappeared and that was horrible. Clearly, you are not that type of friend, but what I'm trying to say is that there is almost nothing you can do wrong for your friend if you are simply available to her. She's lucky to have you.
