She is so saddened that this had to happen to her that she is releasing it in anger. Anger is supressed sadness. She just needs to be reminded that's it's ok, and to be given tough love- she'll realize that she's still loved and special.
Cancer can be so tough on a person- she's not taking initiative of her life here- she wasn't prepared, but who can be? Don't give into her weakness and anger, but sternly remind her that everything is okay. What depressed people can't stand is tough love. She will get worried and cave. You can't do anything for her state of mind- that's up to her, but you have to show her that.
I wish you all the best and you all are in my thoughts. Take it one day at a time.
