Radiation or not after surgery for endometrial cancer?

I'm still recovering from hystrectomy and will probably have Brachytherapy 3 treatments in January. Just to give me peace of mind that if I have a re-occurence in the future I won't have regrets not having the treatments which might have prevented it.

@1995victoria were u given the choice to do brachytherapy or not? What tests will they do before radiation (if any)?
What are the benefits as explained to you? I understand it prevents reoccurrence at vaginal cuff but no benefit if any cancer cells escaped in the lymphatic system.
Should a recurrence happen in the future, what is the impact on having brachytherapy already?
