Brain Stem Glioma - Treatment options?

9 year old girl is diagnosed 1.5 years ago with the brain stem glioma, originally pontine, but now spreading to midbrain as well.  The only treatment she received is 4 sessions of chemo (no radiation).   It appeared that the chemo stopped the tumor growth, but the latest MRI shows new extensions and infiltration into the surrounding regions.  Due to the location and spreading of the tumor, it was deemed non-operable by the local medical staff and she was discharged from the hospital.  Today she collapsed and was taken to an ICU...

Is there any (standard, clinical trial, experimental) treatment option available at this point?

Thank your for your prayers and words of encouragement!  Her name is Diana and she needs a miracle now... Amazingly, her condition greatly improved soon after I posted the original message, but I know it's not for long... Please continue your prayers!
