Questions about getting a 2nd opinion!!!

My mom is in the hospital with a possible brain tumor. However, it seems like the doctors are moving really slow to give us a definitive diagnosis or even options of what we could be doing. They haven't done a biopsy yet, I guess because of where this possible tumor is in the brain. So I would really like to get a second opinion. She is currently in the hospital where her primary physician is located. How do I go about getting a second opinion? Do I have to have her transfered somewhere first or do I just contact another doctor? I'm confused and I don't want to delay too much longer. I'm in the Chicagoland area if that helps with info. Thanks!
