Unfortunately no, new hyper metabolic metastasis in neck, chest and abdomen as well as osseous structures consistent with progression of disease, from PetScan report. I’m wondering if there is an additional intervention or therapy.

I’m sorry to hear that. Did the oncologist do any molecular testing on the tumor tissue to see if you have any targetable mutations? An alternative treatment option are clinical trials. Generally you will be required to have a “washout” period prior to enrolling. This means no treatment for either 2 or 4 weeks.
I would ask about potential clinical trial options or start researching some clinical trials in your area at Clinicaltrials.gov.
Good luck
