Sebum smell could be a biomarker for Parkinson’s Disease

Dear Doctors: I have read that dogs can tell when someone has cancer just by sniffing them. That's already hard to believe. But when I heard about a nurse who smelled it when her husband got Parkinson's disease, I was sure it was an urban myth. Is it true? What would she be smelling?

Reader worried about sharing feelings with best friend

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am in love with my best friend. I'm scared to tell her because I fear she may end our friendship. We have been friends since childhood, and we've always gone to each other about relationship issues. Now that I have realized she's the only woman I want, I get jealous when she tells me about other guys. I don't even think she realizes I've been single for over two years now because I'm in love with her. Should I tell her how I feel? – In Love With My BFF

28-year-old worries she’s too late for a family

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am 28 and single. I've dated here and there throughout my life, but I've been focused on my career. Most of the relationships I have had were with people who just weren't as serious about their future as I am or didn't take our relationship seriously. So since then I've been single, enjoying life and working hard. Now I am approaching my 30s, and my family is questioning my plans to get married and have kids. At this point in my life, I don't know if kids will still happen. I've lost perspective, and I know my 16-year-old self's fairy tale is long gone. How do I meet someone sooner rather than later? Is it too late to start a family? – Ticking Clock
