my husband has developed skin nodules on his throat, above his stoma, after he had
radiation, chemo and eventually a total larangetomy.  The 1st one was removed and
it was cancerous, now he has 2 more and they seemed to attach to each other.
His pet scan shows that his cancer is stable

Hi.  Your husband's multiple skin nodules are a sign of recurrent cancer.  He may benefit from another course of radiation or a different set of chemotherapy regimen.
