Thank you for the welcoming reply and reassurance. My ENT visit yesterday went great and nothing amiss with her manipulation and prodding of my lymph nodes. The only other symptom I have is that I am always cold. However my wife thinks that finally my temperature is normal as she was always concerned about my son and I wearing shorts in the winter and shoveling snow in T-shirts. Anyway, I'll post that issue later in the appropriate forum. I loved your self description of "exercise nut" as I did 4 marathons (best time 3:15), lots of 10ks until my knees gave out. Pre DX and TX, I spent an hour each day lifting weights or doing aerobics in addition to pilates and yoga and just thought of myself as keeping in shape. Good to hear that stamina and strength return, even if saliva doesn't always.
Thanks
tom
