Dear Doctors: My uncle had been feeling nauseous, so he saw his doctor. He figured it was a stomach bug. After getting an MRI, he was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. He died just two months later. Needless to say, our family is in shock. Is this cancer always so dangerous? Why is it so hard to diagnose?
DEAR HARRIETTE: It is way too expensive to visit my family, but they get deeply offended if I don't.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the media that for the “desired effects” to lower U.S. inflation, it was worth considering taking steps to reduce the tariffs on Chinese goods.

One was gracious, the other garrulous. One was severe, the other soft. One was rail-thin; the other carried a spare tire around his waist. One never touched alcohol; one was a prodigious drinker. One was a Mormon, the other a Catholic. One spent his adult life in the cold winds off the Wasatch Mountains, the other in the warm tides of the Gulf Stream. One was Coolidge-reticent in his speech, the other Churchill-voluble in speech. One earned pocket money by delivering the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper on frosty mornings; the other came from a family where newspapermen were in their pocket – and, in some cases, in their pay.
Dear Doctors: Can you please talk about rat bite fever? Our son got bitten by a baby rat while he was cleaning out his garage, and he didn't see a doctor. It turned out he was OK, but I'm worried about what could have happened. What should he have done?
DEAR HARRIETTE: A few years back, I went on a number of dates with a man, but it didn't turn into anything. We remained friends on social media, but we stopped communicating directly. I found out he was engaged about a year ago and congratulated him. Since that interaction, he has reached out to me a number of times to ask if we can speak on the phone or meet up for drinks. I always say no, but he's been persistent. I don't know his fiancee, but should I tell her about these interactions? I would want someone to tell me if my fiance were trying to meet up with women from his past. -Crossing the Line
