Remember while you are reading this, that his mother refused the surgical treatment also so she knew she would die of this cancer within a not too distant future. Your Mom has opted for surgery so she MAY be able to take a 'wait and see' on the radiation depending on what the surgeons and oncologists think.
Take care,
