Having uninformed - partially informed folks (that would be us) second guess / brainstorm her diagnostic process can be quite frustrating for her and her health care team.
Best to continue your conversations with her, learn from the MDMP (Medical Decision Making Process), and observe the process in action so you can utilize elements of it later on when necessary.
Once she knows what is going on, ask if she wouldn't mind if you shared it here.
Good luck in your studies.
