Yes, it can be removed. He has an excellent chance of survival. My friend had brain cancer as a kid. That was probably 30 years ago and no more cancer. Has to test every year. He does have permanent damage. That's the overall good news.
Basically: no way to know without the path report and imaging.
And best of luck to him and his family, that is awful and I couldn't imagine being in their situation. Heartbreaking.
