The bottom line is that, since the Final Exit procedure must be done by oneself, without assistance other than emotional and spiritual support, one must take action before becoming unable to do take the steps. My guess is that she had lost so much ability to function on her own that she knew she could not wait. With MCS, she could not have been cared for in a care home (too many toxic exposures that would have devastated her further, for one thing). She did not have family or financial resources to go on. What, exactly, do people expect someone who's in such a situation to do? She courageously faced that she was ready to go, after doing everything she could to stay. God bless her.

It's a good example to help remind us all that none of us really knows what another person is enduring and that appearances are not what they seem. Your account does your friend some justice.
