Deciding on radiation or not

I had a small 1A IDC no nodes positive. They said bc of my “young age” 52 radiation was recommended. If I was 65 or older no radiation. It cuts the recurrence of the cancer by 2/3 so I did it. It was unpleasant but fine. 15 days.

I am 71 this August and they are pushing for me to have radiation. What was your doc concern about radiation for a woman 65 or older?
