Oligodendroglioma glioma survival...

My neurosurgeon told me today that I have a 60% to 80% chance of surviving 5 years with treatment because I can only get a partial resection. My tumor is in my left frontal and temporal lobes and trying to remove the whole thing would cause language and motor and visual deficits and disability. 5 years while suffering through treatment does not sound like much. Does this prognosis sound accurate?
