Heather,
The venue of your husband's cancer treatment is of course a decision that he makes, but given the T3 stage and the fact that it is aggressive I am surprised that they did not throw in chemo as well. It makes it a somewhat harsher treatment to be sure, but it statistically is supposed to give better results. You might consider asking about this, assuming you have not already discussed it.
Best,
Anne
