I chose not to because the risks (my tumor bed was directly above my heart) were not worth the reward. I understand why people chose to do it but it really needs to be based on individuals tumors, age etc. It should not be a one size fits all treatment plan. Radiation is cumulative, and once you get it you can't get it again. I'd rather save that "ace in the hole" for another time.
