Is Removal Of Lung Lobe Only Option With Adenocarcinoma?

I am 78 years old Black Femal in good health until I was diagnosed with stage 3 adenocarcinoma. I have had my upper rt lobe lung removed and it was found to have gone into my lymph nod. One dr said it would do me more harm if I was to get chemo and the second opinion said I should start within a 42 day window because Iwas strong enough. What is your opinion?
