FWIW Once upon a time we said tehillim on a Friday night @ Ner Israel Toronto for a young man thought to have had lung cancer.

The problem with tehillim on shabbat is that one is not supposed to ask for
personal requests on shabbat which why we dont say the regular shemonei esrei
on shabbat.
I asked a talmid chacham and he said that this case is considered
pikuach nefesh and is
permitted as would be saying tehillim for a very sick person.
BTW the same would apply to saying tehillim at night which would be permitted
even according to kabbalah for pikuach nefesh
