My husband has a grade 3 astrocytoma diagnosed at Mayo Rochester after having an MRI done by his GP in our city. Sounds like your son has had the similar protocol, except my husband could not have surgery because of location of tumor. He has done most of his treatment at Mayo and we have been pleased with his Mayo doctors. Has been wearing Optune cap for 7 months. Wish I could communicate with you by email or personal message and give you more details.

Hi Carol. I'm sorry to hear that your husband (and you) are on this journey as well. Now that my son has finally agreed to a second opinion, I'm curious how to seek the best (most experienced) doctor for this particular type of tumor. I thought Optune was only for glioblastoma? (I don't know much about it at all.). I was attempting to send you my email address but the server wouldn't let me, saying that since I am a newly registered member, I'm not allowed to. Can you send me yours? (I don't yet know how to send private messages.)
