You are Johnny on the spot. Kelly did PM me but my studies were old so all I could share was my general sense that re-radiation was becoming more common plus the ancedotal evidence that it has worked for me so far. My research was limited in that the newest full articles were all behind "pay walls" of professional organizations. Yet a little digging into the links in the OCF news article did let me find a full PDF version of a 2010 American College of Radiology: Appropriateness Criteria paper. I love the OCF news feed

This may be a case of TMI but here is the link that I found thru the OCF news feed article.
ACR reirradiation criteria
The tough part is figuring out how many GY. I got 5 GY a day for one week my second time around (compared to first time of about 2GY a day for 40 visits)
