Cancer does tend to return. How often and how soon it returns depends on which stage it was detected, you havent mentioned it in your question. Also what is important that you follow your doctor's advice absolutely religiously. Keep getting regular checkups, recurrences can also be cured if detected early.

Are you going to go through chemo now ? Or radiation? Non small cell is the worst kind, but if they caught it early and got the tumor and do chemo you could have more than 5 years left.
