I use Remote Desktop extension for Google Chrome.
It's easy and it's free. Just need chrome browser on both machines.
Wish all the best for your friend.
PS: Just don't use alt+f4

I used the tunneling capability of putty ssh and remote desktop for years. Once you have the tunnel set up stored with that session in putty, all she'll need to do is log in with ssh and then use remote desktop to get to her machine.
If you know how, you can even make a blanket tunnel to all the ports of an entire machine, which is useful for accessing things like file share servers.
There's easier systems to use, but the IT department probably already has some form of remote access for themselves, and there's a good chance its ssh, which would mean all they need to do to get this going, is to allow her to log into that server remotely.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

For a free option, look into Chrome Remote Desktop.
It runs inside the Chrome Browser and works pretty well. You can find it in the Chrome Web Store. Install the "server"side on the machine at work, and the use the extension on the chrome client to log in...
Works fairly well.
Hope your friend benefits from her treatment and beats the disease...

I own a Professional license for TeamViewer, but I find myself using http://jumpdesktop.com/ and http://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop almost exclusively for the past couple of years.

I use remoting software everyday, my PC is in a datacenter as that has the speed to download stuff really quickly like compilers libraries and so forth. My home network is standard hsdpa (sloooow).
I have a lot of experience when dealing with remote desktop software. For Microsoft Windows, the RDP protocol is good but you shouldn't be constrained to a single protocol (allow for redundancy).
Logmein is in my experience uses a slow protocol.
TeamViewer is excellent for documents, coding and what not. UDP protocol usually.
Splashtop is good for videos (again UDP)
Chrome Remote Desktop is also an option if a little awkward to setup but very reliable.
VNC protocol can be slow.
My mac (I assume you're Microsoft Windows) has a HDMI USB tricky thing, which activates the graphics card for OpenGL 4. This also improves performance for many apps [remotely].
I do recommend 2 protocols, one as back up. Even more so if you don't have access to the machine (which I'm sure you do).
Best Regards

I use RDP and Logmein. Both are free but Logmein is very easy to set up and works via a browser interface.

Why a man would want to marry in the first place is mystery, why he'd want to do it again is a bigger mystery.

How are you and Mrs V getting on with your quest for multiple Hice?

It is going well. We have found a 'to let' property in Leeds that looks like it could be a nice little earner, now we have to find somewhere for us to live.

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, then comes good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Ontario and mine is in Tucson.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. Then she said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was, she told me "In the Lake."
8. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said "No, jump in!"
10. Remember. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault. My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!"
Will Rogers never met me.

Cause that's just how I roll.
Decided the Compamy owes me a chrimbo present so ordered a new laptop (DELL Precision m4800). First one I've had that supported 3 screens at the same time. It's great untill you lose where the Mouse Pointer is.

I'm capable of losing the mouse pointer with a single screen and not so big 
I also have pretty bad experiences with multi-desktop (linux way), or better, multi-terminal. I learnt that
telinit 1 isn't a good command to send remotely - I wanted to turn MY machine in single user but did it in the wrong console.
I guess I'm no multitasking man
