stage 1 lung CA

Hello.  I am new here.  I am 48 years old, female.  In 2006 I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, stage IIB.   I had 18 rounds of chemo, 35 radiation treatments and was doing well.  On a follow up PET scan in august 2008 a very small, 9 mm nodule was noted in my left lung.  I had a VATS which was converted to a lobectomy when frozen section proved it to be primary lung and not mets from the breast,  which was what all of the doctors thought.  My oncologist said that chemo is not needed, because it was so very small when found and it was competely removed.  Does this sound right to you??  I am thinking about getting a second opinion.  Any thoughts are appreciated!
