Default radiation vs. surgery for lung cancer

Anybody have any experience with radiation for a small lung cancer? Without getting into to much detail, a partial lobectomy was performed, followed by preventive chemotherapy. A new nodule is at the site of the last surgery staple line. Oncologists are wanting to do radiation, surgeon is wanting to remove the entire lobe and surrounding lymph system...again robotically. Last surgery was February. No spread of disease...organs and lymph system clear. Any experience you've had with this will be helpful. Thanks...
