Yup... you are correct. If it reoccurs in the same spot you need alternative treatment. But if it's out of the previous treatment field then you should be good to go.

I had rads for a second time this past August/Sept....my bc back in my lymph nodes but part of my breast that was previously radiated was again radiated ...the area was over lapped for the first two weeks.... 10 of the 25 rads...it's risky as my radiation oncologist explained because it can cause neuropathy, nerve damage, and it did in my case but Gabapentin has allowed me to be pain free....

My rads oncologist said that if I got bc again, that he could do radiation again. I am not for sure though, that you can have it 3 times.
