I am so sorry to hear of your devastating news... I can't imagine having a loved one, let alone a child, go through this. My friend is going through this with her 3 year old, but it's a little bit different in your situation given she is older and has her own child. I have another girlfriend younger than I who is only 30 and was just diagnosed with stage 4. She already won once and is doing really well so far - so hold out hope and project as much positive energy into the situation as you can - miracles still happen, and I'll pray for the best outcome for your daughter, you and the grandchild.
It's so hard to provide advice because everybody's situation is different, but while the whole situation is heartbreaking, if she doesn't have her affairs in order as it respects the child, it's something you do need to address soon. Are you willing to raise her, her father, his family, another family member? Visitation if one familiy member takes her? How old is she? It would be much better, albeit difficult, for all of these details to be discussed and decided upon while she is in a good state of mind and healthy enough to think through them, and it would be beneficial if the agreement could be done legally so that the granddaughter has as little to worry about in the event your daughter becomes too ill to care for her either while she is going through treatment or as she recovers or if things don't work out as hoped.
Wishing you all the strength, support, love, healing and everything you need right now to help your daughter overcome this disease.
Edited to add - sorry, when I wrote this it showed you had no responses so I was the first one, but as I went through again I see that wasn't the case.
