I remember early in linkin parks career that Chester had to rebuild his ability to sing differently because of how much stress his style puts on the vocal cords. She will likely need to do the same if she’s going to survive it.

By "rebuild his ability" you meant basic fundamentals of screaming, I assume. M Shadows didn't know how to scream correctly either and we're now all lesser off for it

Yeah it’s not all that uncommon for prolific screamers to just completely fuck their voice due to lack of technique. Just look at Oli Sykes

I mean, they were a deathcore band for like 3 albums. You're not wrong though.
