While vaporizing is really the healthiest way to inhale cannabis, it can still be a lung irritant and for someone who has been diagnosed with lung cancer, I would think that edibles would really be the better alternative.
Unfortunately, Michigan isn't nearly as far along as California is in terms of Dispensaries and availability. Fortunately, after visiting the Clinic here, I've been put in touch with a lot of Caregivers whom make all the edibles themselves generally, so I think in the long run we'll have no problem getting them. I've also become her licensed caregiver, so as long as she thinks the effects of Medical Cannabis work for her and she enjoys it, I will eventually start to supply her own and make her own edibles.

The doctor said that while vaporizing wouldn't negatively effect her health wise in any way, because of her lungs and cough, she didn't recommend it. She said if she has the ability to try it at a meeting she can choose to do so and see if maybe it doesn't irritate her at all, but she's pretty sure it would.

Thank you for the help, lwien123. It may not have been much, but it was enough to keep me from freaking out before I could get to the clinic with her. I feel a lot better being introduced to the "community" up here as it were, it's nice to know there are other people willing to give help and advice up here, as it really isn't as openly accepted and championed in Michigan as it is in California.
