Just an FYI...my Mom died this week. She was diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s, although I believe it requires an autopsy to know for certain.

You have my sincere condolences.

Last that I heard is that a definitive diagnosis is made only with an autopsy, except in rare instances when more bad reasons provide the opportunity for a biopsy while the patient is alive.

Yep. It would have been quite a few thousands of dollars to have it done, and it isn’t covered by any insurance.
