Kelly,

I am so sorry to see your latest news. I have read a lot about vaccine therapies in general with some research by the Japanese going back to the 60's using the actual rumors (tumor infiltrated lymphocytes) that was furthered by the University of Texas. There are also some other therapies/trials using chemo directly into the tumors but I have not looked for any current studies. Around here they also use SBRT that is real-time 3D modeling of the tumor and treating only the tumor area. If you want a second opinion in Dallas I would be glad to give you a place to stay and transportation provided for you. Praying for any type of peace and comfort for you and wisdom and guidance for everyone to find the best possible course of action for you.
