I don't think it's uncommon. standard treatment for stage IIA Hodgkin's is combination chemotherapy like ABVD. it's up to the doctors to determine whether or not to include radiation. If in this stage they think there's a reason NOT to include it- maybe the patient won't tolerate it well - then they might extend the ABVD regimen a little.
Stage IIB Hodgkin's is typically treated with combination chemo as well, but radiation would probably be included if scans showed masses or bulky sites in the body- the kind of things radiation is good at shrinking.

I had stage 2 HL and went through ABVD in 2006 and I never recieved radiation.

Good luck with everything!
