In L.A. county there are 3 designated national cancer centers: UCLA, USC, and City of Hope. She should make her second opinion appointment at one of those.
The Cancer Support Community is a wonderful support organization. There is never a charge for anything and there are support groups for the the person with the cancer and her support people (family, friends, etc.) Individual counseling is available for up to a certain amount of sessions. They helped me a lot, and I became a leader of the Welcome to Wellness sessions in which people are introduced to it. I'm still in contact with some of the women from my support group. They have some centers in the SF Valley.
