hello nyc212,
hope you know you are dealing with the ' best ' brain tumor if anyone has the chance to choose. You can way the options after discussing with a specialized neuro- oncologist.
I was 25 yrs younger when i got the diagnosis of Oligo- astrocytoma 10 yrs ago. I got a partial resection of the huge tumor in my rt. temporal lobe followed by only temodar ( at highest dose, at the time state of the art) without radiation as i was very worried about my cognitiv abilities.
I lived quite well, completely able to deal with a high tension job with several minor regrowths along the years, without opting for further therapy at the time as i was doing well.
After the new classification of braintumors in 2016 and cos of the asymptomatic growths my NO urged me to go ahead for further treatment as my BT was reclassified as an Oligo II with all the positive deletions.
According to the following promising study mostly Oligos would benefit from a combined Radiation + PCV ;

I just stopped working for the duration of radiation , but started work ( part time) with the PC ( no Vincristin for me) and managed to complete 4 out of 6 cycles.
Today i am 10 yrs from first diagnosis and 5 months from last treatment , 53 yrs old and work full time.
During the treatments i learned to take care of myself, work less and find new hobbies. I am glad of that today. As a director your husband has certainly told colleagues to slow down, to be able to tolerate the treatments and adjust to the new ' normal' even if he needs professional help ( as I did ). It might then be time to follow his own advice ;-)
Hope your appoinment went well?
