Actually the side effects of radiation are often similar to surgery in the long run. Surgery is “front loaded” and may be followed by some recovery of function over a year or more. Radiation is “back loaded”, where you see the effects creep in over time. It all depends on a number of factors but it’s not that useful to compare short term. I’m glad to hear you dad is doing well.
