I am making a prayer pocket for a friend. She is having a tumor removed today and the doctors won't know until she's on the operating table if she has to go through chemo for cancer. I have a couple prayers/blessings/inspirational quotes, but none of them say exactly what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

Here is a catholic literagy:
Prayers for the Sick
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brother (sister) (Name), who is sick. Stretch forth Your hand that is full of healing and health, and get him (her) up from his (her) bed, and cure him (her) of his (her) illness. Put away from him (her) the spirit of disease and of every malady, pain and fever to which he (she) is bound; and if he (she) has sins and transgressions, grant to him (her) remission and forgiveness, in that You love mankind; yea, Lord my God, pity Your creation, through the compassions of Your Only-Begotten Son, together with Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit, with Whom You are blessed, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord our God, Who by word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every malady and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to this Your servant (Name) and cure him (her) of every sickness of which he (she) is grieved; lift him (her) up from his (her) bed of pain, and send down upon him (her) Your great mercy, and if it be Your Will, give to him (her) health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to Father, and to Son, and to Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
I dont know if thats what you were looking for, but hopefully it helps!

Thank you for this prayer. I prayed it for myself as well as for the persons who might need it. Amen

I don't know about specific prayers, but the Bible says that God is the great Physician, and also that our healing was already purchased on the cross. So, in fact, we have the ability to command sickness to leave our bodies because our healing was already bought for us.

Isaiah 26:3 states:
He will keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind stayed on Him.
Just pray that your friend stay calm and peaceful and no matter what the outcome is that God loves her and will supply all that she needs.

God doesn't want to, necessarily, hear scripted prayers. Instead, offer up what is in your heart to Him. He is a personal God, talk to Him as you would your friend

If you're going to insist on praying, I would pray that she has a very good doctor.
