American Cancer Society has a head and neck forum. It is also very good and active; it is stronger for those seeking emotional support but there are plenty folks who have been through it all too.
Check with the local groups of cancer support organizations.
As Brian points out, online forums are far better at communicating with a greater number of people in a more timely manner. Since she has not started treatment, really try to get her to join online groups and get some PC support if she needs help navigating around the forums.
Good luck
