City of Hope is a great cancer treatment center. They were founded by Workmen's Circle, a secular Jewish organization. They will treat regardless of the patient's ability to pay. She may need to ask for an evaluation of her insurance coverage and if they have a program that can lower her costs.

If she was accepted at City of Hope it means that they are working on a study or clinical trial. They're very honest about if they have a treatment that can help. If not, they will recommend that the patient stay on with their current doctor.
