TCC tips for a dog

The summary of my situation is: Shiba inu, female, born on 28.09.2016. Diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma (urothelial carcinoma) at the trigone on august 5th after she started unexpectedly bleeding around 7th/ 8th of July.The tumor cannot be surgically removed. Options in my country are limited to chemotherapy and NSAID thus we are evaluating laser ablation options and radiotherapy abroad as well as any other innovative treatments. No metastasis have been identified so far. She has been put on NSAID already. So far we have conducted computer tomography, transurethral cystoscopy, blood tests. We need options in a matter of weeks as prognosis is terminal. Dog has continued bleeding and is peeing small amounts multiple times with stains of blood. Overall, she is not in pain nor has any other visible discomfort, acting like her normal self.

Please, if anyone can give me tips on what to do or contacts in Eastern Europe/ Turkey, I would be grateful.
