Neur-endocrine carcinoma

I'm looking for help for my mom who has just has 1 chemo treatment of Taxotere for her tumors that have started growing on her spine after removing a cancer in her nasal cavity along with her sinus cavity. The pressure of the tumor on her spine has crushed 3 vertebrae and the doctor has stopped the chemo due to her insurance not paying for chemo and for her care in a facility. Prior to 25 days ago she lived alone and now requires help 24/7. I feel they have given up due to the lack of research on the type of cancer she has. I feel she could still benefit from treatment. Otherwise she has been sentenced to die in this facility. 1 treatment is not sufficient to determine that it could not help her. If you can help me find a trial or research facility to make an effort to help her I would appreciate the information as soon as possible.
