Radiation therapy , what’s to expect

My dad 68 years old is going to start radiation therapy , 8 weeks. What is it to be expected as energy level, being able to drive and live normal life during this difficult time. I would like to hear from people who went through it and have some advice on what to expect and how to minimise side effects.
Thank you all, in advance !

My dad has prostate cancer T3N1, he underwent surgery in February and now will have 8 weeks of radiation . We are planing 10 days trip to a beach vacation,3.5 weeks after his last session .would it be ok for him to travel on 5 hour flight and spent time at the beach?
Also is it ok to skip two- three days during radiation and add it at the end , he has to travel to another city for work? My mom is super worried and thinking that we should cancel our trip while dad wants to go, seeking for advice?
