For stage II Lung cancer (Non small cell), is it normal not to do chemotherapy?


My cousin just had surgery to remove a tumor on his lung. They are only giving him drugs and radiation. Should they give him chemo too?

Sometimes they do radiation separately from chemo (in general for cancer). They don't like to hit you will all the bad side effects all at once.
