Heart cancers are very rare due to the nature of cardiomyocytes and their replication cycle.
The best they could do would be chemo and hope for remission as well as stability with her probably progressing cardiomyopathy/failure. A heart transplant would likely be contraindicated and futile during active treatment of a malignancy.
Sad situation but not much they can do. I have had patients die from pancreatic cancer within a month or two. Just replacing the offending organ won't help. Surgical excision of a cancer only works in certain situations.
