Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. I am so sorry to hear about your friend but I will offer you some advice. Have you ever heard of Cancer Centers of America? You can find their link here http://www.cancercenter.com/.
A friend of mine is only 40 and has secondary blood cancer due to poor treatment from his treating physician and was in the same situation about possible chemo treatment when he went to Cancer Centers of America and was treated completely different than the 15 minute (in and out) protocol of his regular doctor. He is a survivor and never had chemo. Anonymous, give them a try as their whole mission in life is to treat everyone as individuals and are cognizant of their patients.
Give them a call and see if they take your friends insurance. From their site, it appears there is a location in Arizona and although it may require traveling - usually insurance will pay for the travel as well. Can you keep us posted? We would like to keep in touch and hear updates about your friend.
