For a friend: recommendation for a good lung cancer support forum/group?

I have a good friend who has gotten an early peek at her chest PET scan results, and it looks like significant lung cancer in both lungs. Her appointment to discuss the results isn't until Wednesday, so she's in a tough spot of knowing things look bad but not knowing yet exactly how bad. You all have been so incredibly helpful to me, and I'm hoping some of you might know a good place for people in her situation.

Can anyone recommend a good lung cancer support group on the web? Facebook groups should work, too.

Thank you so much.

I was diagnosed in 2017 with Stage 3 NSCLC.
I belong on this site but it is not a very active site but the people are helpful.
