Was pretty sure you had gotten another vet to double check her and get it that she's been thoroughly diagnostically worked up with no good answers for her. I probably couldn't put my dog through chemo either. Just don't know if I have the right to cause an animal to suffer that way long term, even to hopefully lengthen his/her life. Knowing how dogs' lives are all about living a social, happy, fun-loving existence and by nature mask their suffering for fear of showing weakness or pain, am pretty sure they would hate and fear the treatments and most things associated with them. Here's best wishes and prayers for little Callie and you.
