Flax calcification are a normal finding on CT scans of the brain in many completely healthy patients and usually have no clinical relevance. The flax is a folding of the covering tissue of the brain that lies in the crevice between the two hemispheres. As we get older, there may be a local collection of calcium along the fold. Typically it means nothing and we call it an "incidental finding. Of course, I have not personally reviewed the films or examined you. If it's really a meningioma (benign brain tumor that calcifies and can be located at the falx) then it's another story. But if it truly is just flax calcification, then I would not be concerned. However, if your husband's headaches are progressively becoming worse or are associated with neurological deficits, then further imaging with an MRI of the brain may be warranted. Talk to your docs about this. Best of luck.
