Since you are at stage one, this is the lowest level to stage the cancer. So, this is very good news for you. None of us are doctors here but it seems common sense that the lower staging allows lower dosage of radiation. From what I understand 60gy is the lowest to be effective; so, that is why you are probably getting the lower range of dose.
Radiation is a very rough treatment. How much easier it is at 60 vs 75, I have no idea. Read and prepare for the worst, any lessened side effects consider a gift.
