Radiation therapy

My father(62) is having 2cm by 7cm colon cancer tumor plus few enlarged lymph nodes. He is getting radiation therapy on a linac machine. Its written as 5040cgy in 28fractions, 5days a week. Also chemo as capegard 2500mg daily. My question is, if this therapy treats both tumor and the enlarged lymph nodes? And what tests are followed by end of radiation therapy to know the status or do they need to do some tests in between also?
