I'm so sorry that Kaylee is so ill. I have no personal experience of a dog with cancer, but with an 11-year-old I would be very reluctant to put her through invasive treatment such as radiotherapy. I would concentrate on keeping her as pain-free and comfortable as possible, and living as normal a life as she can - which is where you seem to be at the moment. My own reaction is that an oncologist might not be able to do much more than your vet, a pain specialist might be able to help with keeping Kaylee comfortable for as long as possible.
Having nursed several Cavaliers through terminal illnesses, I find you do quite a lot of your grieving in the process, knowing you're not going to have them for much longer - so expect some tears as you journey with Kaylee, it's tough for the owner as well as the dog.
Thinking of you
