I'm not sure how helpful this is (as I'm still a bit of a novice), but 
I read a really great article in Mothering Magazine about a mom who 
breastfed twins with one breast  (i think it was jan-feb, could be 
mar-april, but i'm not sure, sorry).  This leads me to believe that if 
one breast doesn't "work" (although, perhaps the cause is a factor), 
the other one will compensate and make enough to feed the baby as much 
as he needs.

I've also read of cases where a baby flatly refuses one breast and 
continues to nurse on the other one until he weans.  Too, I've seen 
clients who, unknowingly, tend to nurse more on one side because it's 
more comfortable for them and then that side ends up making more milk.  
(???)

Hope it works out for her.  (i'd be curious to know the results of her 
tests on the breast).
