If she was diagnosed on the 3rd and then started her chemo the very next day, I'd say she was already going to the best place. She's already getting chemo, and her oncologist would have given her what's best for that type of cancer.
Private chemo is no different to NHS chemo...and by getting it the day after being diagnosed, your Mum already got it quicker than a lot of people....going private wouldn't really make any difference, unless there's other stuff involved which you haven't mentioned
